Anyone using it. No XBR or H4895 available. I use some Varget with these bullets.

Thanks.

I use AR comp with 77 TMK in my 18” 223 AR. Going 2580 fps. 10 shot groups under an inch and usually one ragged hole with a couple outliers that make it an inch.

Thanks doverpack12. Mind telling me your load? I understand that if I injure myself it is my fault. You can PM me if you’d rather.

I am using 21.5 gr ar- comp with 73 gr hornady eldm in lake city brass.

Hornady lists 21 7 as max so all the usual disclaimers about working your own loads up and following book data apply.
