223 load data please

I am trying a new bullet and need some data
75 gr .224 bthp hornady match
Laupa brass
24 in 8tw rock creek 5r barrel .252 nk
 
24 grains of Varget over a Remington BR Primer works best for my 77 grain Burger Match bullets in my 24 inch 8 twist match barrel. Groups 1/4 MOA at 100 yards. Start at about 23.8 and work up. I would not go much past 24.4 grains. That is where I started seeing signs of too much pressure. I am shooting Lapua brass.
 
Work up to these

23.5 N140,
22.0gr AR-Comp
24.1 CFE223

+1 to Varget, 23.5gr

-Mac (work up to these loads, COL 2.260" as tested). Seat to longer COL and work up further for bolt gun.
