Previously, I tried the 75 grain Hornady BTHP for my Savage 110 Predator is 223 Remington. I originally thought that the bullets were key-holing, so I abandoned that bullet. Now, I have over 1000 of these bullets so I thought I would review the results. Upon further investigation, it seems that the bullets were not key-holing. I now believe that they were simply tearing the paper due to the target backer not being flat. I plan to try again.
I have three suitable powders for .223 Remington. I have BLC-(2), Power Pro Varmint and Varget. With the 69 grain Custom Competition bullet I have had excellent results with Power Pro Varmint. Great velocity and decent extreme spreads when only throwing charges. I am thinking that Varget might be better for the 75 grain bullets. At least as far as closing up my velocity spread a little more.
Do you guys have any favorite or known loads for the 75 grain Hornady BTHP and one of these three powders? Before y'all preach at me, yes I do know the basics of safety when loading.
