I am in the midst of reloading some 75gr loads right now for my TC venture II. 5R 9 twist, very smooth bore.
I have a 3 shot and a 5 shot FCW mag. So measured the mags, they will handle a max OAL of around 2.385 @ 2.400 with the 5 shot FCW.
Now the rifle- Found with a slight push it'll take 2.390 with Hornady's 75gr BTHP Match & the round will slide right in @ 2.385.
So set the die to seat 20 thou from the lands to account for any variances & well within the magazine limits. Longer than my AR limit of 2.250.
After working with CFE 223 Meh compared to these 2, I started with World shooter Match, this powder shot great with the Hornady right off.
I started with 24.5 and went up to 25grs which was a bit warm, the Hornady was putting them in a Nickle right from the get go @ 2730fps
Then I tried LVR Like JLB on U-tube, this stuff was very impressive, my max was at 25.3 with Fed AR match SRP @ 2775 FPS.
Some of the best groups I ever shot with this rifle, nobody is going to tell me LVR is only for lever guns LOL. Will load @ 25grs LVR for awhile
Don't know if I will even want to try any 77's, maybe will if they get to the same price as Hornady. Want to do some 68 Hornady's with Match Pwdr.
