First .223 reloads, 55gr FMJBT & TAC

[Slasher]

I finally got to get out and shoot my first reloads for my AR. I used a Lee Classic Turret press with Lee Pacesetter dies. I had once fired, through my AR, Federal brass, CCI 41 primers, Ramshot powder and Federal 55 grain FMJBT projectiles. I had hear how good 24.5 grains of TAC was for the AR and boy did it look that way with my groupings, see picture below. I loaded up 5 rounds each of TAC with 23.5, 24, 24.5, 25, 25.5 and 26. The 23.5 only had four hits because the first one was on a different target and so was all of the 26 grain. The 25 grain group also only has 4 hits that I can see so I am not real sure what happened there. I know that this is a 100 yard target but these were shot at 25 yards because my range only has 25 yd and 100 yd stations. I am relatively new to all this so please give any advice you can for a new reloader.

Thanks

Looks like that 24.5 gr. load is a keeper!
