I never had TAC powder shoot very well. Same type of groups with factory bullet. Usually one load that shot well was all. I switched to CFE 223 and have much better groups over a wider powder charge.

You will have to trim the case to get a soft point at the weight you want. A Lee case trimer with a 3/16'' bolt from toggle bolt cut to length will trim the case. Chuck the reamer in a drill and trim...

It depends what you want. Just plinking I don't think I would waste my time. If you want best overall performance I would start out annealing every firing.

Thanks just bill. A good read. I don't have to make my own tools. Just like the idea I can. Dave Manson would probably make what I want for a fair price.
