I just got a stainless encore .223 with a 26 inch bull barrel , I made my first range trip yesterday . With 26.0 grains of BLC-2 and a 50 grain speer  tnt bullet with a COL of 2.250 (.050 off the lands) at 100 yards my best 5 shot group was under 1 inch with 4 shots touching ,Now I will start looking for a more accurate load.

Don't know about TCs, but my CZ527 really likes Varget behind 50 grain V-maxes.  Don't recall the charge right off-hand though.
