Sounds like for a bulk purchase the 55 gr FMJ Hornadys may be a lot better?

Speaking for myself, I will say yes.
Ten shot groups is my way of verifying actual accuracy based on the merit of Molon's knowledge sharing. That was 9 in one jagged hole at 100 yards, and the lone flyer for the tenth...well nobodies perfect and it's a curse of mine. I used various lots of LC, all trimmed to exactly 1.750 because I didn't want bullet jump differences making things weird and powder used was CFE223 seated to 2.200 and CCI SRP. This was developed for a 1/8 that also works quite well in the few 1/7 that I own as well.

I used to load them for blasting, but like others posted, they're not thrilling. The 62 gr Hornady hpbt bullets on the other hand are great.

Played with the 60 gr V-Max a few years ago, Behind a stiff charge of N-140 I was amazed how well it shot out of a V Match with 20" barrel.

I would also give the 62 HPBT a chance, but for a general blasting load I think you are doing just fine.
H335 is a great powder, and seems to shoot consistently well through all of my AR's as well. It is kind of flashy, and temperature sensitive, but has always produced good accuracy and velocities. My sweet spot has always been around 24.5 gr under 55-60 great stuff.

Hearing the positive of the HPBT 62 and the validation that the 62 FMJBT was and is still blah, I am interested now in finding some to load. However, I have not seen any for sale at the local Sportsmen Warehouse. Is this going to be an online purchase only thing too like the 60 TMK that is only available online?

Yes, they are only available from one source....which I can't recall at the moment.
I still need to work up a load with the ones I bought months ago.

I only need two boxes of 100, one to ladder and one to stock after the data has been collected and saved.

Yes, that's the source.
