Description
RIFLE POWDER
Tactical Rifle smokeless propellant has been a secret of OEM loaders for some time. It is the cleanest .223 and .308 spherical propellant on the market, and a superior alternative to H335 and BLC(2).
There’s a wide band of performance capability with Tactical Rifle. .223 Remington ammunition can be loaded for plinking and cycling in an AR-15 with very light charges. Or, you could load it all the way up to meet standard NATO performance.
Specific load data has also been developed for 5.56mm NATO, when shooters are looking to take the performance of their hand loads to NATO specification velocity from NATO chambers. These published loads have been tested to military standards, fi red in 5.56mm pressure barrels, and fall within the maximum average pressure permitted by NATO standards. But please note that we set charge to maximum pressure, and not specified velocity. This way, shooters will understand the advised maximum charge weight, beyond which we suggest you not pass. When loading to upper NATO pressures or velocities, we surely suggest the use of NATO brass, NATO primers, and the use of NATO loading methods.
While Tactical Rifle is optimized for 55 grain .223 Remington and 5.56mm, and 147/150 grain .308 Winchester and 7.62mm, it also provides sub-minute accuracy with match loads we’ve evaluated. Using as-received/unmolested Winchester .308 brass, Winchester large rifle primers, and a simple load of 42.5 grains of Tactical Rifle with a 168-grain Sierra Match King seated to 2.800”, we fired a 10-round sub minute group at 200 yards. Simple, yet effective.
It is extremely low in residue, muzzle smoke, and is flash suppressed. If you’re shooting a AR-15 or AR-10, this propellant is customized for your system.
