TiteGroup for reduced rifle loads?

[fastdadio]

Don't be afraid to dial it back to. 900-1000fps with tg produces one hole groups in a number of the mentioned cals.

This could prove to be very good advice depending on what boolit you're launching. When I was loading right at, or just over supersonic velocities, I could get nice 1.5" groups at 50yds. Move it out to 100yds and groups would open up to 4"+. I was loading the Lee 170 fn gc, without the gas checks. My only guess is that boolit goes unstable when it transitions to subsonic in flight. I can load the same boolit to 1400 fps.+ and hit 2-3" groups at 100yds. The only difference is that the boolit is still supersonic at 100yds when loaded at, say about, 1350 + fps. The same boolit loaded subsonic at the muzzle, will also print sub- 3" groups. Go figger. My goal after this bit of frustration is to load at velocities that will avoid the transition from super to subsonic while in transit to the mark. Different boolits will behave differently. Simply adding a gas check my Lee 170 may have cured my problem, but I haven't tried a back to back experiment on that theory.

This intrigues me. I got a fair bit of TG, but I normally use the stuff for 9mm and pistol calibers. My trailboss stock has ran dry, and I've been looking for an alternative. Will try this in 30-30 and 7.62x39 eventually.

Can you use titegroup with cast
Bullet in the 243 ??

In the September 2014 issue of Handloader (#291) John Haviland did an article on cast bullets int he 308. One of the loads listed using the RCBS 30-150 CM, a 150 grain plain base designed for the 30-30, he lists using 8 grains of TiteGroup. I use a lot of that powder in handgun cartridges, and things being what they are, seeing a 4 pounder for sale under 100 bucks I nabbed it up.

I've been using Red Dot for most of my reduced rifle loads the last couple years, but I'm getting low and don't want to burn it up in my rifles as it's my favorite 45 Colt powder and I've not more than 3 pounds left. Anyone here have any experience with TiteGroup in rifle cases?

I've 9nly ever used it in .223.

There are a few loads for reduced rifle. Really no range.. Just that 1 loading.

Where is there published loads for T.G for reduced rifle loads?

The ballistics of Titegroup are very, very close to bullseye and 700x, and you will find lots of loads for them in the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. As always, as burn rates are not exactly the same, you must start low and be prudent.

This is great news! Titegroup is one of the cheaper available powders locally!!!

Anyone have a copy of the article from Handloader?
