The low velocity is only a problem if you are trying to match it with a specific BDC, other than that its pretty much in line with other .223 pressured 75gr factory loads.
Agreed.

I keep coming back to the 75gr pill in a true NATO pressure load for SBRs. It's big enough that it could lose some mass due to over expansion and still punch deep enough.

In fact, the only other round I've seen open up as fast is the FBI spec TBBC 62gr 556 load. The 64 grain opens as well at 150 yards as most other projectiles hoped they could at 5 yards, lol.
