Need A Backup Bullet For 75 Amax

[SporterII]

I am shooting the 75gr. Amax to 2850 at 2.45 oal.
What would be a good, compatable alternate bullet to try.
8 twist 223. throated for this bullet at this oal.

80g A-Max...

Hornady makes a 75gr BTHP Match that was very accurate for me with TAC powder from a 1:8" twist AR. And loaded mag feed COAL too, so they might tolerate jumping in your rifle as well...

How about the nosler custom comps, available from 69-80gr

How does this compare ojive to base?

75gr Amax is 0.471" from base to start of ogives.
75gr Berger is 0.473" on same dimension.
These are per Litz's "Applied Ballistics"

Thanks for that.

ELF - I have shot a bazillion 50 vmax. Love em. Just interested in getting out farther with these. Yours is pride worthy.
