Ok, ran a search and came up empty, so if this has been covered please shoot me the link.

I want to clone the 68 gr Match black hills load (not moly). Either the re-man stuff or the Match. Both shoot great outta my AR. I purchased the 68 gr Hornady bullets and have plenty of LC brass. Does anyone know the following:
Good powder for cloning?
Approximate FPS this load is?
Do I have the right bullet?

Yes you have the right bullet and case.
I don't know what powder/primer they are using.

I run up to 25.5 RL-15 or Varget with excellent results.
(I can't pack enough in to get excessive pressure)
I use rem 7 1/2 primers
I get almost 2800 ft/sec in a 16"
about 2950 ft/sec in a 20"

Accuracy and velocity are excellent with either load.
