Working on my first AR15 build. Have a WOA 20" Kriger upper coming. Aero lower, Larue trigger, Luth MBA-1 stock, Warne 20 MOA cantilever mount with a Burris E1 4-14x LR MOA reticle.

I've got 73g ELDMs and 75g Hornady HPBT Match bullets. IMR4895, IMR8208XBR, and Benchmark for powders.

What are some more proven loads out to 600+ with the above combos?

The rifle is just a LR steel/truck/coyote rifle. Nothing crazy. Will be slow fired and babied just like my bolts. Would like to run it out to at least 600, maybe even 7-800 yards also.

Thanks!
 
I have 20" SS Proof 7 twist in Aero upper, over Aero lower with Rise Armament 434 trigger. I'm running 23.6gr 8208XBR, cci450 primers in LC Brass at roughly 2780fps for both the 75bthp & 73 eld. The bthp is 3/4" for me and the eld is just slightly better. I've seen lots of reports of 23.2-23.8 of XBR working well

That range of 8208 xbr with the 75 bthp or a sierra 77 smk. 23.2 works for me.
