Well, once again proved this to be true!

My rifle's 1-9" twist seems to prefer 120-ish bullets. H4350 gives good speed and average accuracy (3/4" - 1.25"). Decided to experiment with H4831sc and the 120 bullets. Everything shrunk immediately.

Shot these two in a row:

Going to try H4831sc with 130 and 140 grainers as well.
