Went to the range yesterday and did some ladder tests with Hornady's 70 grain GMX bullet. The test were nothing short of terrible. Interested in hearing opinions on where to go next. I'm not hooked on this bullet so if the weight of the advice is leave it and move on...so be it. The rifle used in this test does very well with 65 grain SGK's.

Rifle: AR - 16inch Ballistic Advantage Premium series barrel 1:8 w/ standard A2 attached

Ladder test data:
H335 21-23grains / WC556 brass (FL sized and weight sorted) / 70gr GMX / COAL 2.260 / Jump = .062
CFE223 22-24grains / WC556 brass (FL sized and weight sorted) / 70gr GMX / COAL 2.260 / Jump = .062

There were no 'groups' per se, but rather rounds landing randomly on paper at 100 yards. Literally 5 inch+ goups for every single charge weight.
