TBBC Load Development

All~American · Mar 25, 2021

Bought a few hundred 62gr Speer TBBC 224” recently and am looking to reload. Seems there isn’t much out there to work off of as far as load development goes so I’m looking for anyone who knows a thing or two about where to start. Anything is appreciated but I am looking more for those who actually know about this particular bullet and how to develop a load according to my components.

223 Match Lapua
H332 powder
CCI 450 Magnum primers
62gr TBBC bullets

And because I’m using 223 brass I’m not really looking for 5.56 info. Thanks fellas!

What's your purpose with these? I loaded up a good chunk with TAC, 24.5gr. But those bullets aren't good for much more than 1.5 moa IME. Great for self defense and short range hunting.

The goal definitely isn’t precision shooting. I’ve heard they’re notorious for being inaccurate so they would be for self defense/hunting. If I can get them to shoot under 2moa I’ll honestly be happy

They're great for that purpose then. Excellent bullets. H335 would probably be another good choice

I appreciate it. I’ve never used TAC but I’m assuming you were loading to 5.56 pressures?

Mine was a moderate load. I think I went to 26gr or so before pressure. As always Ymmv

Thanks for the information man I’ll work the load up and check for pressure
