I’m done buying red stuff, yellow box stuff just always seems to shoot better.

Like what? And what velocities are you getting? N140 is a good burn rate for the 75s. Similar to Varget which is an excellent powder for .223.

i would place N140 closer to H4895 in performance. I usually use Varget (AR2208) in the 223 with 75g. But I agree, a wonderful powder for the 223.

I'm not a fan of the ELD-M, but that's likely a lack of experiece with it pehaps - but I do like the Hornady 75g Match.

I would be testing a different primer - I use Federal Gold or CCI - for matches, when I can get them - For practice, I have used the 7 1/2's with mixed results, but currently using Ginex.

I have a new barrel but I have switched my rifle back over to 7mm for now for hunting season. I will not be able to get back on the .223 until Spring.
