Have you tried the Nosler Bonded Solid Base 64 gr.? I know it's heavier, but it's short and stubby. It's more about length than weight vs. twist. The 60 gr. Partition is another suggestion.

If those will stabilize, you'll like'em.

I've used the 64 Nosler Solid Base and the Speer 69 GK with much success out of my 9 twist 77 Hawkeye 223 Rem.

Seems by some accounts that I may be overgunned.
