I settled on the 75gr Hornady BTHP as well. Loaded to 2.255" over 23.5gr of Benchmark and an S&B or Win SR primer prints small (.5-.7 moa) groups from my 16" 1:8 223 Wylde barrel at 2680 fps and has been good in everything else as well.

Grafs had good prices on 250 count bulk packs of them last summer, don't know if they still do but I need to stock up again. I still want to try the 73gr ELD though before buying a bunch more of the 75gr HP.

Some of my experiments with the 77gr Nosler with other powders resulted in 5-6" patterns at 100. And no, those weren't 5 or 10 shot groups, when they're that bad I quit at 3. smile
