Anyone shooting the barnes 70grn TSX through an AR15? I have tried TAC from 23.5 to 24.5 grains in .2 grain increments, and am getting 3 plus inch groups. Im using lake city brass and federal primers. The upper is an 18inch Mk12 mod o type with 1/7 twist. It shoots sub moa with black hills 75 grain.

Switch powders, and see if it improves. I've had the same issues with certain bullets and load combinations in 223. If it's a 5.56 chamber, load it up a little higher than 223 load data. It normally shoots best slightly over 223 max data.

Im not seeing any pressure signs, so Ill work up towards 25 grains. If that dont do it, ill give RL15 a shot.

I just tested these in my Rock River 1-8 twist. I got good accuracy 3/4 - 1MOA with RE-15, Varget and I4895. I also loaded some 75 gr Swift Sirroco's, both shot the same. I will be using them on Texas hogs and deer starting next weekend. These were loaded 2.26, just fit and functioned in my Magpul mags.

i have tried the 75 gr swift scirricos II's not I's (cant find them) and the 63 gr barnes bullet but not the 70gr'er. I have however had great luck with TAC I only found out about it about a year ago and i love it in the 223 and 308. PM me for load info if i can help you. Mine however is a 1x9 twist.

I have a friend running these in his AR getting excellent results . I will hit him up tomorrow and get his load data . I believe he is running a Vhita Vouri powder and pushing them as hard as possible . He tried the TAC and didn't get real great results either .
