Hornady .223 73 and 75 grain ELD-M Factory Loads?

[Turkeytider]

Does anyone have any experience with these weight bullets in Hornady factory loads? Particularly, has anyone found them to be noticeably superior to other factory match loads at 500 yards and in? And yes, I`m aware that every barrel likes different loads. Thanks in advance for any input.

My rifles like the Hornady Black 75 gr loads. Never tried the ELD-M's. Never shot farther than 300 with them.

Thanks. Are you shooting AR platform or bolt ( or both ) ?

I've shot some of the 75gr HPBT in both Black and Frontier they're really good, I just think the 77gr SMK is a smidge better.
Never shot any of the 73gr ELD but they're a stubby nose like the 75 HPBT and don't have the high BC like the 75gr ELD-m.
I've loaded the 75 amd 80gr ELDs and they're amazing past 500, but you can't load them at mag length for an AR.
