Problems dialing in 75gn ELD-M in .223

My 1:8 Mullerworks hammers with 75 and 80 ELD with both Varget and H4895

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.
