75gr bullet from 12FV .223?

You should have no problem getting them from Midsouth Shooter Supply, Midway or Graf's.

Just got back from the range where I was shooting my Savage 12FV in .223 with 75gr Hornady BTHP.

First, 3-shot group at 100yds from a rest.

After initial scope adjustment, another 3-shot group.

Any velocities on that load, Steve?

[Steve in PA]

No, sorry....I currently do not have a chrono.

According to the Hodgdon reloading website 21.0gr of H335 is listed at 2624mv and 23.0 shows 2814mv. I'm using 22.0 out of a 26" barrel, so best guess is splitting the difference 2720mv??

Went out today and this was another 3-shot group using the 75gr BTHP. This rifle definitely loves this load!
