    75gr hornady bthp .224

    I’ve got a bunch of these bullets. I prefer the 77gr noslers or smk. I’ve got h4895,arcomp and rl15. Who used them with the powder comp I have. I load my 77s at 2.245-2.250” and have best luck across 5 ars. They all shoot them under 1.5”. I’m gonna do a 20” ar and scope it. So I want to load these dedicated for it.

    They’re all pretty close in burn rate. Arcomp or h4895 are kinda my go to

    Great shooting. I’m planning on trying the 75gr hornady hpbt in my 18” 223 wylde, when my scope comes in and I get a chance to go shoot.

    I guess I’ve got something to shoot for and I’ll load up the 75 gr. Hornady I have. Nice shooting!

    I really prefer the nosler custom comps. They’re cheap and shoot well. But this time around these 75s have been cheaper by the 500 so I’ve got a bunch.

    Thanks. Mine are short. I’ve found I have better luck running them at 2.245-2.250. Same as the 77s. I’m gonna do some more load work and run the charge lower to see how it does. I know these are warm. Had some ejector marks on a few

    I'm interested in your 75gn, I havent had great success with 62gn bthp. I have a 1-8 twist and thinking need to go heavier, also sent you a message.
