I don't have any chrono data in my log. I can tell you that I just loaded them to Hodgdon's published max for H322 powder. The bullets seat long... but I think I'm .020" or so under the specified OAL for the round.
I just loaded some up this week. So if Pappabear brings the box out, I'll chrono some of them.

I have a Remmy 700P in .223 that I bought used from Kieslers a few years ago. It was an Indiana Dept of Corrections tactical team precision rifle and came topped with a Leupold all for the grand price of $750. It even had its log book in the case with it. Had exactly 450 rounds of FGMM through it according to the log book. The only thing I did to it was a trigger job. I lightened it up to about 1.5 lbs and it will shoot lights out. It's stupid accurate and one of my favorites. It really does well with 69 grain SMK's and especially LOVES 60 Vmax's. Perfect little white tail gun for North Texas deer.
Certified AR Armorer among many other things.

I'm not sure why heavy (75 gr and up) 223 loads making 2700+ fps out of a 20" rifle are so "unusual".
They are standard fare for NRA HP shooters using AR service rifles going back to the late 90s.
24.7 grs of Reloder 15 in LC cases topped with Hornady 75 gr bullets (both HPBT and Amax) were my go to loads for HP when I competed and I had no trouble getting 2750 fps with zero pressure signs.

Not for me. All I shoot are heavy bullets. I've had outstanding luck with H322 and XBR. R15 is too temp sensitive, Varget is too much of a metering ass ache and its bulk density is sub-optimal for 223. I've dropped it and got max loads to fit in .223, but I do too much volume to be running that process. (I do run it for .308 with my chargemaster).
I've never tried 4895 however. I think I saw some 4895 on the shelf the other day, but didn't have the stomach for any more load development.
