    73 grain ELDM

    What powder are you using with said bullet, I've used TAC, outstanding failure.
    2000MR was good, I'm going to try 8208.

    Again thanks fur the help

    I haven’t shot the 73gr eldm, but varget and arcomp should be solid choices.

    Many people use varget for 69’s 75’s and 77’s. If you don’t mind me asking, what went wrong for you with TAC? I’m wondering because I was thinking of using it to start load development with 75gr hpbt.

    TAC gave me a shotgun pattern instead of a group, for me TAC favors the heavier bullets in my 223's(all 556 chambered)

    Ha! I can handle a shotgun pattern. As long as it didn’t blow anything up!
