Would some of you share some load data from your loading manuals (other than Lee - I have that one) for a 75 gr. jacketed bullet (Horn. 75 gr HPBT) using Reloader-15 powder?

The Hornady manual doesn't show and loads for that bullet using Re-15. Just wondering what else may be specified other than what Lee has listed.

What Hornady manual do you have? The 6th edition shows:

RL-15
2200- 20.0
2300- 20.8
2400- 21.7
2500- 22.5
2600- 23.3
2700- 24.1

Thanks, Hawkeye. I don't have the Hornady manual - I picked up the 7th Edition in the store and could've sworn that there wasn't any data listed for Re-15 in there - that's why I didn't purchase it. I'll have another look.

You're welcome.

You'll have to flip a couple of pages after the "223 Remington" to get to the "5.56 X 45mm NATO" data, as they don't list the 75 grain bullets on the 223 Remington section.

Ohhhhh, I see. I did miss that. Is it OK to interchange the two for powder charge purposes?

I was fireforming using that bullet and powder combo ( I shoot at 223 AI)

I was using 24.2 of R15 and 75gr HPBT match bullets. I was getting very good accuracy, less that half moa
