I have an X-Bolt with the same rate of twist. I am going to try some 62 grain TTSX and 65 grain GK's. We'll see where we go from there.

So far the one i put together has liked the 75 and 80 grain bullets.
They do a number on coyotes,so far the longest kill was at 320 yards.
When they hit they sound weird like a plop only louder.

I have a 12 BVSS in 223... with a one in 9.
It will easily digest 75 and 80 grain A Maxes, plus the various HPs in 75 and 80 grains from multiple manufacturers...
I've even tried low velocity loads, as an experiment...
75 and 80 grain BTHPs, Match style bullets, with a charge of Unique.. they were only shot at 50 yds to see if they would even stabilize.. they had zero issues, plus made a little bitty 5 shot hole group...

The 62 Barnes is a good bullet. It no problem to shoot through a 200 lb pigs shoulders.

That’s all I’ve heard hanco, the 62 TTSX is a killer. I have some loaded up. We’re going to try to find out.

In fairness however,the 77 Tipped Sugar's BC is shy of a 75 'Max,let alone a 75 ELD. Hint. Bless your heart for doing your best! Hint..................

Lawrence of Alaska ( not to be confused with Lawrence of Arabia) is sort of like to the campfire, what an overfilled out house would be to Central Park.

I think most understood that the heavy bullets were describing the high BC bullets.

How do you figure I imitate you there Stumpy? for starters, I know what a bar of soap is for, and use it daily.
But then you are repeating yourself, so ya must be drunk and high on meth, per usual.
