I want to research some 223 loads using 75 grain berger bullets.?

What are some of your loads using these bullets or something similar as a place to start.

Update:

77 grain bullets, not 75.

    I've reloaded with both the 75 and 80 VLD. I used Hodgdon Varget powder. I looked at both the powder and projectile manufactures sites and took a load half way between the upper and lower end. I also looked at some of the more reliable reloading sites online to see what others thought. YA isn't the place to find exact loads. The advice is often dead wrong, but presented as thoughtful response from an expert.

    Berger is a great place to ask,contact them through email or call. Have to determine IF your rifle/barrel will work with the VLD 77s (normally a fast twist barrel) and you will have to gauge you lande engagement point for best COL. I don't have a 223 with a barrel fast enough for heavy bullets and I'm not target shooting at any long range. You can visit a few 223 or target shooting sites for info regarding heavy bullet loads such as the one below.
