tac20 load data

drawing a complete blank on start finish data for the tac20, I am looking info for H322, BL-,C)2 and VHIT N135, I can find pet loads ok but I want some start finsih data, I tryed the Hodgdons website but they only list data for 33g v-max and a 36g bullet,dont know what that one is), I have searched the net and cant find much so anything is much apreciated, im using 32g/40g v-maxes as well.

i tried n135 in my tact 20 with 32vmax-25.5-27.0
40 vmax 24.5-25.8.these loads fill the case[lapua] and top end loads are compressed so go steady.i found n135 to be a little slow
i believe these bullets need to go fast so try n133/rel10 can supply loads if required.
as a side point im just trying varget but its a bit wet and windy
here in the uk.
keep us posted with your results.
 
My Tac 20 loads are: Using a Pac-Nor 1-12 twist 28" long
Using Dakota/Lapua Tac20 brass and Fed.210M primers.

33 vmax- 25.3 RL-10x
40 vmax and Bergers 24.6, 24.8 Rl-10x

I can get the 40's into an Inch at 300yds, whatch it though, they drop another 3-3.5" at 350yds.

I started off 8yrs ago with this caliber using H4198, but the pressure is higher than RL-10x with the same velocity, so RL-10x was the powder of choice and it seems to burn pretty darn clean.
Hope this helps...
 
I'll give 10x a big thumbs up.

I'm at 25.5gr w/ 39BK.

With a Douglas barrel it's a 1/4" gun.

I got this load from a friend and I didn't change a thing. I built both the rifles from the same reamer and barrels ordered at the same time.

We were dinging steel at 600, not an issue as long as the wind stayed down.

thanks guys, I love 10x too but at the moment I cant get a drop of it anywhere, I think it has somethign to do with alliants military comitments, I may give vhit 133 a go.
 
Because the temps here go from 120F to 32F I have felt better served by one of the Hodgdon Extreme powders. My 40gr Berger is therefore pushed by 25.3gr of Benchmark and a CCI450 srp.I get 3911fps @ 12ft from the muzzle with my Oehler 35P. Rifle is a Nesika T action and PacNor 26" SSSM. 1/12" twist. I am not getting pressure signs in the Nesika, but with that same load in my Rem 700LH SA, I get a lot of primer cratering. The barrels are both PacNor SSSM 1/12". Both used the same chambering reamer. Go figger. I would start a couple of grains low and work up. I sent the 700 bolt off and had the firing pin hole bushed. I got it back about five weeks ago, but have been busy chasing coyotes so I have not tried it. One day................

use benchmark....with the 39 gr sierra BK bullet..But be careful..Work up slowly...I've blown a couple of primers in that tac 20 forming my own brass..Use Lapua brass..avl. thru midway now stamped DAKOTA...TAC-20...Also I impact plate my bullets with Tungsten DiSulfide powder...Dry lubricant...It is deadly to 500yds on big groundhogs..Takes a big puff right where u hit them THUMP..real nice!!! mike in ct
