Looking for some of this elusive pixie dust in Canada if such a thing exists. Really want to try some out of my new Colt MK18 to see what it's like velocity and accuracy wise. I have some Black Hills 77gr 223 already, really want to try the 5.56 stuff. If you can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

Can't remember for sure but I think it was around $60 for a box of 50. I have 5 rounds left, I guess I should buy some more
Could be more, I don't buy factory ammo often and I've had this box for a while. Give them a call and ask if you want an accurate price quote. They also carry Black Hills match .308 168gr and 175gr.
I am definitely going to try that load out. TAC is supposed to be temperature insensitive too.
My PWS 12 inch piston driven rifle can shoot it into less than an inch at 100 yards. It's pretty good
My experience is that any kind of mass produced commercial ammo does not perform as well as my hand loads. It's a different calibre, but I bought 1000 rounds of Federal Gold Match 175 gr for my SR-25 and they suck even compared to my ladder test handloads.
I have had good luck with Varget and Lapua projectiles in my SR-15. If you have the time, I'd recommend going that route instead of investing in expensive factory ammo.
