75gr Amax?

[gopherslayer]

I loaded a few up for my 1:9 savage 223 this weekend and was impressed with the accuracy at 100 yards.

If I am going to experience any stability problems with this bullet, what yardage will it rear its ugly head.

Velocity is 2850 for now.

I run them @ 2975 in a 1-9 twist Douglas via vanilla 223 . No stability problems.

I'll play with powder a little more on friday. I was thinking a little closer to 2950 for velocity(26" barrel).

I'm digging Benchmark. 3 different bullet weights and all grouped under 3/4". Looking to finalize 53gr tsx for upcoming deer season. 4 different charge weights and all went into 3/4"(8 shots).
