RMR match bullets in 223

[Huntintherain]

First post! I’ve looked online a little bit and couldn’t find the answers I was looking for and from being a lurker on here for the last year there’s lots of knowledgeable people here! I have a Ruger American predetor 223 and want to upgrade go a tikka t3x in 223 in the near future,
Love Rocky Mountain reloading bullets and looking at the 3gh BTHP they offer, has anyone shot both the 69gr and the 75gr they offer and which do you like better for accuracy?
Mostly looking at it for punching paper and steel out to 5-600 yards. Possibly would shoot a coyote with it too

I use the 75s in my 223. They do ok, but they’re nothing special. Doubt I use anymore once I’m out

I could never get them to shoot better than an inch through my sprs. Fine for target and banging steel at mid range and extra trigger time.

I shoot a ton of the 69gr taken them out to 500 on rockchuck’s don’t think I could ask for more for .14cpr

What’s your next go-to? Price is pretty darn appealing on these

I've switched to using their 75gr hpbt as my bulk loading bullet. The same powder charge as with 77gr tmk gets me a similar poi. While I've shot a few sub moa groups I'd agree that it's a solid 1.5moa bullet

So far it’s sounding like the 75gr isn’t worth the components and time to try to find a MOA load.curious to hear more thoughts on the 69gr and what other bullets I should consider to shoot a good bullet on the cheap?

The 75 RMR were absolute garbage when I tried them, very typical to end up with 3moa+ groups I wasted a lot of components try to get them to shoot. I think the best they ever did for me in multiple different rifles was 2.5moa, never even bothered with the lighter version after having such trouble with the 75s.

The best bullets to use on the cheap for me have been the Hornady 75hpbt, and the 77smk. The 77smk I bought as seconds from midway for close to the price of the RMR if I remember right. Unless you are planning to shoot several thousdand rounds a year I would just buy a match bullet that I’m planning to hunt with and load one type of ammo. The time working up multiple loads, wasted rounds having to rezero between each, possibly buying different types of powder, etc is just not worth it imo if you are only shooting a thousand rounds or less a year. It’s nice to have one load that keeps the rifle on the ready and keeps track of real useful data in shooting.

For the past several years I have had a practice load and hunting load because of the volume I shoot but I am moving away from that, the few dollars saved just isn’t worth the hassle anymore.

The 75 bthp Hornadys will stack 3/4 moa 5rnd groups in both of my AR's. Been extremely happy with them and the price isn't terrible if buying in bulk. Same barrels the RMRs would do 1-1.3 moa and roughly 10 cents cheaper per bullet.
