25.5 gr of TAC is where I'm starting... backing off a little from the 5.56 ramshot data based on a 75 gr hornady bullet. We'll be running the 20 inch rem 700.

Wow. They list the max load pushing the 75gr hornady to over 3000 fps. That seems smoking.

I just picked up a box of the 75 ELD's as the Berger 75 VLD's have been shooting pretty well for me.
Hope that the Hornady's will shoot as well.
FYI: velocities in excess of 3,000 ft/sec no problem if the overall length allows for sufficient space. These in no way were magazine length loads.

Isn't that the point, afterall the challenge is what makes us try harder, further, windier... LOL
Like Vegas above I shoot at Desert Sportsman's R&P... we know wind all too well.
OK, kidding aside I just measure some of the 75 grain ELD's against the 77 SMK and 75 Berger VLD for consistency and diameter. Used 5 random bullets of each for averages.
Berger's length varied by as much as .022" running from 1.030" to 1.052" base to tip
Hornady's Length 1.116" WITH NO VARIATION!
Sierra's length .999" length varied on the 5 random rounds measured =/- .001"
Hopefully Monday or Tuesday will offer an opportunity to do a ladder with the 75 ELD's.
