FWI! Wed. in the .223 Savage 12bvss-s the 75gr. Horn. match gave super service with 3 different powders ,8208 ,Dp2200, Dp74. roger

The 75 Hornady’s shoot very well. I used them in my NM AR15 out to 600 yards and they hammered.

My load was the 75 Hornady with 24.5 grains N140. My chronograph data was conducted with the nickel plated WSR, the new brass WSR are too thin and will pierce with these loads. I am now using CCI #41’s as they have thicker cups and don’t eat up firing pins.
