My favorite load is the 174 loaded backwards. I have a few with the boat tail drilled to make a nice HP that I want to test this summer but the flat point works great as-is.

Sorry. I forgot to mention that I shoot 7.62x39 which has slightly more case capacity. Also, the 220gr bullets are the round nose flat base design which has a shorter OAL.

Don't flip them backward just Dremal and Drill. 210 grain HP from 220 grain OTM the ones under it are 216 grains from 220 OTM Remington 300 Blackouts. Very easy to do.

I shoot mostly 220gr pro hunters and 240 Outlaw in a 7in bbl ar. I use VVN110 and 1680 and they work well but not that quiet. Would trailboss be quieter AND cycle the action?

Trailboss will not work for heavy bullets. I only used it for the 90 grain bullets because they don't take up much case capacity like the longer bullets do. You do not want to compress Trailboss. I wouldn't try it for anything heavier than 125 grain subsonic. I've only tested it with the 90 XTP's, so go forth at your own risk.
