I may try some 68gr BTHP if I come across some.


This may sound weird, but the 53gr Vmax has a better BC than the 55 and even the 60gr Vmax. That is one reason I suggest it, and in a 1 in 9 twist, it will stabilize very well. In fact, it's been one of the better shooting bullets in my 1 in 9 twist Rugers and Savage rifles. Also, one of the nice things about it is it's available and generally a pretty good price @ around $22/100. That 68gr BTHP is also one that you can normally find for a decent deal. Your H335 and benchmark will work great for those bullets too.

Ok thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for 53gr Vmax and give them a try.
