Damn that’s smoking right along for a heavy .223 load. Might explain why it feels loaded hot even compared to XM193 in my subjective opinion when fired out of my 14.5” midlength.
I understand it to be a round designed for SBRs so the need to get the velocity up quick takes it up there in a 16”.

Even if it’s designed for SBR’s, should still be a badass round out of a 20”.

Yeah I’ve seen that test. Awesome performance for a round that doesn’t cost all that much.

I have the 64gr GD round and it does indeed feel a little more spunky than you'd expect for .223.

The 64 grain chronos out to 2750 from my 16 inch barrels. I would be real happy if it was 200 FPS faster.

For some reason I never got some gold dot 62 but I do have numbers for Fusion and TBBC.
Fusion 62 .223 (not MSR Variant) 16”=2802, 11.5” no data
Federal Tactical LE223T3 .223 62 16”=2905, 115.” 2554

62 GDSP (24445SP) is usually 2650 from 16" barrels I've chrono'ed it in. SDs are 30-50, higher than I like.
Interestingly, it has been capable of MOA or slightly better in some precision barrels.

But the 75s? What do those chrono out of a 16”?

Many thanks.
Mid 2500ish. I say ish, because I've noted some variance lot to lot. Friend shot a deer the other year. Did well.
