Looking to reload some heavier fmj rounds other than 55 fmj. What it is out there for a 1 x 9 twist? Like a 62 or a 64 fmj? Or hp?
I have not had good luck with 62gr,, but the 69's and 77's rock,, wile testing I got a 1.5 in group at 200 with a cross wind, shooting the 77's
you get what you pay for, a Match bullet is just a better bullet, I have weighed some Win 55gr FMJ's that was an eye opener, they ranged from 53 to 57gr.
all the match bullets were on the money,
I have been shooitng Nosler 69's and 77's shooting them out to 500 ish, and they do very well.

I have a 1 n 7 twist. Im going with the 68 grain hornady hp with h322
In my 1/7 twist Colts I shoot Hornady 68 gr BTHP with IMR 4895.
My targets tell me there's no reason to change.
Check with the manufacturer prior to loading up a lot of bullets. The 77 gr. Sierra BTHP bullets I have tried have a warning on the box. The warning says to use only in 1-8 or tighter twist barrels. A heavier bullet has to rotate faster to stabilize. Light bullet in a 1-7 or 1-8 twist barrels have been known to explode from over rotation while going down range prior to hitting a target. Do your own homework and make your own decisions. I have found over the years that some mis-information gets posted on this sight.
