Load data for 77 TMK in 223

23.5 grains on XBR gives me 2765 fps out of my 18 inch Tikka.

For those using the 73 eldm for practice are you using the same load data from the 77tmk and just pressing the 73 in?
 
Man, I wish I had sourced H4895 sooner after struggling with the so-called magic unicorn dust 8208 XBR...

Tikka with 22" barrel and OCL Poloium 556
Starline brass, Fed 205M primers, 2.32 COAL, 77gr TMKs, 24.0gr H4895, 2 thou neck tension
No pressure signs (maybe slight ejector mark every so often)
~2860 fps

I’m getting 2715 same charge. What primer, brass, OAL?

For practice I use Varget under the 73 ELDM. Cheaper and shoots a little more accurately.

73 ELDM over 23.5 of varget - 2682fps
77 TMK over 23.5 of XBR - 2757fps
