75 amax load Anyone?

Just finished up beddding my .223 Tikka Varmint in a Manners T5A, I plan on making it my fun do all rifle. Maybe even a little bit of 600 yard Fclass.

Anyone care to share their load for 75 Amax. Or even better anyone willing to run quickload for me.
24in 8 twist Barrel
.223 Rem
Lapua Cases
75 Amax COAL 2.520 ish
CCI BR4

Suitable powders I have available Varget, H4895, RL15, AA2230
 
Jon Beanland built this one for me which my son has shot in F-Class (W/O Can)...its throated for the 75 Amax with 21" Rock 1/8...24.3 varget, CCI450's, Lapua Brass, 5ths jump, Over the Olher its 2752...its a hammer

My tikka tactical loves 24gr varget, lapua brass, cci 450 seated 20 thou off the rifling. Average vel. is 2878 fps.
 
Hmm never tried jumping them? I figured they would shoot better jammed.

Any chance you guys would know the COAL on those loads?
 
My Prone gun built on a Remington 700 action likes the 75gr AMax, Lapua brass, Wolf primer (SRM) with 24.0 grains of H4895. I use a Rock Creek 30 inch 7.2 twist bbl.
 
My load with the 75amax in a 223rem barnard action 8 twist wylde chamber 27" chanlynn barrel:
win case win primer 75amax 24.3gn H4895 2795fps @ 32*F
win case win primer 75amax 25.2gn Varget 2903fps @ 32*F es16 sd5 best load/group
win case win primer 75amax 22.6 IMR 8208xbr 2681fps @ 32*F
all loads tested @ 300 yds for groups for winter F class matches

It won't matter what ours are, only yours!

I was just wanting to compare for case capacity reasons. If you were loaded longer or shorter than me.
Looks like I gonna be weighing out some varget and do some 300 yard testing in the AM. It's gonna be COLD!!!!
Thanks for the info guys.

Maybe I will post some results tommorow.
 
Mine are measuring from 2.495 to 2.497 OAL with the Amax, Pressure rings just above the neck shoulder junction...its cold here in PA too!
 
Savage 16, 24" 9 twist barrel, Lapua case, Fed 205M(CCI BR4 for the Semi's), N140(Max Vihta Vuori manual load), 2.581" COL, 2980 fps.
Its basically a toss up between N140 and Varget, some of my .223's like one others the other. I never chrono'ed the Varget but suspect similar velocities due to the POI.
 
Well I thought I had found a load with 25 grs of Varget I got pretty decent results @ 300 Sat morning. However we worked up are dope for a upcoming match out to 600 yards and the results were not all that great I had trouble with vertical at 400 plus. Now that I am gonna have to tune or work up a different load I am gonna run out of the current lot of bullets before the match next weekend.

I think I am gonna order 500 molly 80gr SMK's and hope like hell they work out. Or should I stick with the AMAX ?
