Anyone using the Berger 80.5 Full Bore in XTC High Power Comp's and if so would you share some load data. My go to load for 77 gr. SMK's is 24.1 gr. of N140 in LC brass and Federal AR205M primers, this round shoots very well in all my AR's. Haven't had much success with any of the 80 or higher gr. bullets in my newer rifle with a Criterion barrel, 223 Match chamber, 1 in 7.7 twist. Any suggestions on the Berger 80.5 will be appreciated, not really interested in other projectiles at this time, thanks
