Maybe RL15 or TAC? I'm not sure what to say to try. Are your pressure signs brass or primers?

Was talking to another shooter about your load with the 77gr SMK and I think he had the answer. I was running the 75gr Amax. I have been informed the Amax is a longer bullet than the SMK. I gave away what I had left so none to measure. If anyone could verify this I would be grateful.

Yes, the 75 grain AMAX is too long for a magazine length round. Hornady has a 75 grain hollow point boat tail.

I do quite well with the Hornady 75 HPBT Match and H4895 in my AR.

What might any body's thoughts be on a Colt HBAR Elite with a 24inch barrel vs something like the Larue. If the Colt is $500 or 600 cheaper.

I am using 77 gr hpbt Sierra's in my Noveske and they seem to work well enough out to 400y. Wind is another problem.
