What stoney says.
Also, for your 22" barrel you can expect maybe 140-160 fps faster than the Hornady data (gas gun, 18" barrel).
Also useable in your mix are 8208xbr and RE-15, and varget.
Get the hornady AR-data pdf for guidance.
I tried some 75 vmax's with Xbr in my 20" AR and found a good spot at 2740. Your MV will differ so work up your loads from low.
For the 80 gr you could start with the 75 gr data, just don't up to the top since you're 5 grs heavier.
Test the bullets in your chamber for OAL's, the older tangent style ogives you tend to need to load shorter than maybe y ou're used to, but they will work fine.
I have some 87 gr VLD's I'm playing with right now, using the 87 Vmax data to start.
