hornady 75g .223 starting point

[p14shooter]

With out going through 100's of threads, my 2 books do not have loads for this heavy a bullet. I am using H335 and am thinking about 21grs as a starting point with 24 being about a max. Does anyone have experience with this heavy a bullet.

Sounds about right.

Sounds good, just wondering what rate of twist your rifle is? I hope it's 1 in 9" twist, as a 1 in 12" just won't stabalize such a large bullet. If you already are aware of this, which I think you may already be, please disregard!
