Hiya, I wonder if someone can do a quick check for me.
I've got a few boxes of old Hornady A-Max 75gr #22792 that I'm going to load for .223 with a 22.5" barrel, using Viht N140
There seems to be very limited info online about this specific bullet. Its was replaced by the ELD-M
Gordons Reloading (which does list this specific bullet) gives me a max load of just over 23.5gr at COAL 2.26 giving 2742fps
The Viht website doesn't list this specific bullet but does list the 75gr ELD-M. It suggests starting load of 22.8gr and a max load of 26.2gr !!!!!!!
That is a massive difference from GRT albeit for a different bullet. I'm surprised at such a big difference, but what do I know !
I cant find any load data on Hornady's website and don't want to download, register and pay for their reloading app to find out this bullet isn't listed.
Does anyone have any other resources that list this #22792 bullet ? I'd be interested to see what other sources suggest.
