So far I have tried Tac (not impressed), 2520 (promising) and RL 15 (best groups so far).
What powder gives you your best accuracy with the Hornady 75 bthp? Thinking I need to try 8208 and Leverevolution...

Personally, I'd start with BL-C2. I've had nothing but great groups out of it behind any HP bullets I've used in the 5.56. My goto stick powder for heavies is IMR-4895. It hasn't failed me yet in this regard. AR comp and CFE223 look promising. If I wanted temp stability, I'd drop down to H322. It's a fine grain powder, meters nice, and is part of the Hodgdon's extreme line, and has won more than it's fair share of benchrest matches. Imr-8208's another consistant performer for me.
Cartridge : 5.56 mm NATO - 5.56 x 45 mm
Bullet : .224, 75, Hornady BTHP M 2279
Useable Case Capaci: 24.079 grain H2O = 1.563 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.260 inch = 57.40 mm
Barrel Length : 18.0 inch = 457.2 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 61500 psi, or 424 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 108 %

AR-Comp & 8208; if I want to go slow(er), Varget usually gets good accuracy.

My favorites are:
H4895
Varget
8208 XBR
RL-15
TAC didn't match the accuracy of the above. I wish it had since it meters so well.
There is a rumor going around that Hodgdon LEVERRevolution is where it's at.

CFE works great pretty dirty though, if same loads used in bolts, use LeverRevolution, same burn rate, not as dirty

I have loaded some 77 grainers with Varget. They are still unfired. I would like to try some 75's with H4895.

Tac worked really good for us with 77s.
75s are were not that accurate when pushed hard years ago, FWIW.
RL15 worked good.
4895s got to pressure before speed every time we tried it, but can't actually recall if we tried heavier than 73 before I said never again.

8208 has given me the best accuracy. Same load for 75 HPBT and 77 TMK.
PP2000MR gives slightly faster velocities, and meters perfectly, but accuracy drops a little.
Varget and H4895 did not work out nearly as good as 8208.
CFE223 showed promise, but it hit pressure signs extremely quick.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I've got Varget, IMR 4895 and IMR 3031 on the bench so those are the ones I'd start with.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

I asked Stick about using Lever and he told me where to start. I worked up from 24 grains to 25.5 and stopped there because accuracy was good and I didn’t feel the need to push it further. Cases look good for whatever that’s worth, rounded primers and no sooty necks. I generally don’t reload brass out of my AR, I mostly shoot critters and don’t bother looking in the grass for empties.
So far the 25.5 load under both 75BTHP and 77TMK has accounted for two bucks and around a dozen pigs since November.

While looking for information about using this powder for 55 grain bullets in the 556,i found some posts that Stick made years ago.
They were using it for the heavy bullets but i can't remember where it was.
