I use 75gr Hornady in my long range carbine loads. Where's the best place to get them? I've used Sinclair, Sportsman's and Midway... Hoping I'm not spending too much.

Palmetto is typically decent on ammo, what kind of prices have you paid in the past?

No dice... Nothing shows up on the Creedmoor Sports page for Hornady 75gr .223.... Too bad, I was hoping for a deal.

Re: Where to get 75gr Hornady cheap?
Out of curiosity how do the 75gr bthp compare to 75amax?
Im about to get a 1:8 barrel and I'm looking to get something to shoot, either 75amax, 80amax, or the 75bthp from hornady.
The BtHP is $2 cheaper per 100 so if it performs equally well that's what I'd go for.

I assume you're using a bolt gun? I have not use the AMAX at all because from what I understand they are tool long to be properly seated to AR mag length. The AMAX is a total step ahead of the BTHP in it's BC. Here's the break down...
75gr BTHP - 0.395
75gr AMAX - 0.435
80gr AMAX - 0.453
For anything over 500 yards I think you would be disappointed with the BTHP if you don't have mag length issues to deal with. If you're under 500 yards then the BTHP will do just fine most likely. If I could magically stuff a 75gr AMAX into the AR mag I would pay the extra $2 if I had a choice.

Re: Where to get 75gr Hornady cheap?
75bthp out of an AR will hit consistently @ 600 sometimes even with a 16". If you are shooting at closer ranges I would go with a 52BTHP though. just seem to group easier closer in.
For a bolt long range I'd go 75amax, 80sierra etc single loaded if not fitting in mag. Same for comp with AR.

I've shot both the 75 bthp and amax out of both bolt gun and AR. The Amax is as good as one can ask in a .224 bullet, I shot them single feed through my AR for those really important shots. Last time I shot them I had a 900 yd cold bore hit on a 1/2 mil rock.
The bthp's are not as good as the amax, but they do well in the AR platform. I have used them well beyond 600 yds with semi satisfactory results (weather depending) in three different AR's.

Re: Where to get 75gr Hornady cheap?
Just started load development with the 75gr bthp myself. I've always ordered from midssouth. Great prices, fast shipping....

Re: Where to get 75gr Hornady cheap?
Yep, Midsouth is a 'sleeper' for great prices.
I'm working a load up with those 75BTHPS for my fast twist Wizzer AR. Had good results with them to 600 from my straight .223 & TAC, so definitely anxious to see how they'll run at distance with another 500fps pushin' em.
In my Wizzer, the 75Amax needs 2.315" to hit lands, but the 75BTHP does it @ standard mag. length. At my launch speed, I found the Amax to not like 50 thou. jump and I ain't interested in single feeding an AR...
The BTHP is a nice little bullet, good luck!

Re: Where to get 75gr Hornady cheap?
The order arrived from Mid-South in quick order. The FedEx guy didn't want to bring the package up to the door so I had to come out and get it... He was all confused how such a small box would weight 40 pounds. I just smiled and said it was some metal parts as I skipped away to go loads some ammo.
I'm using my own used LC brass, CCI 450 primes, 24.5gr Win 748 with COL of 2.252... I'm shooting them in multiple guns and loading on a progressive so I don't get too hung up on making perfect ammo. These run exactly 2700 fps out of my 18" rifle length gas system AR through the indoor range chrono at 65 degrees. I've had good success to 400 yards. After that my lack of glass becomes an issue. I'm using a 1-4x MTAC at this point. Just order a new Leupold VX-R Patrol 3-9x with the TMR reticle for the long range carbine team matches I have schedule this year. Hoping that new glass will increase my odds in the 400-550 yard range where I was having issue before.

Is your velocity in the neighbor hood of 2750 fps? I shot 77 SMK's at 24.5 and that was what I had. Wondered if it was about the same. (I know rifle differences and all but curious.)

Re: Where to get 75gr Hornady cheap?
I keep seeing Varget loads everywhere.... guess it's time to jump on the bandwagon and try it in my 308 and 223.
BTW... I just tell my delivery guys that it lead.... and get weird looks. For a while I had subscribed to a guy who shipped 25lb of cold shot for skeet in the USPS "if it fits, it ships" boxes every other week and my postal carrier hated me for it.

No joke! I order my pistol bullets from Precision Delta at about 15k at a time. My little post office refuses to delver them. They call me at home and ask me to come pick them up. I'm more than happy to do it since the carrier is a 5'3" woman that's super nice...
