    21.5 gr is what we use. 2400 fps 16" DPMS, Sota arms, Bushmaster carbine uppers, Nato Boolit. zero leading with speed green. 2600 from my 20" 1x12 upper. fun load, 2500 rounds to 8 pounds of powder. Wolf primers work fine with this powder.

    I don't imagine TAC will be much better in that regard, burns very close to same speed as 4895. But it might ignite a little better or burn more consistently at cast bullet pressures than 4895.

    Some of the smallest groups shot with mine and many friends ARs have been with my cast. 21.5 is close to the starting load listed in most manuals for tack. our velocity matches the results of data listed in most 14" TC sections of manuals.
