any plain old .223 shooters try these> 9 twist. I guess I will be the first to test, if I ever get to shoot the dang thing

I don't see how they will trump a Barnes.

I don't see how they will trump a Barnes. Cost and likely velocity due to less bullet sticking into the case

I always figured cost was the best indicator of bullet performance, laffin
A B.C. of a brick has got to help also. I don't buy the velocity either, Barnes push fast easy.

B.C. is better than a brick, but not as good as a football I dont shoot at important stuff with the cf .22s past 300 yds. no thats no biggie. Speeed wise I had a couple anomalies with lighter Barnes, and had to ask JB. Seems the lighter ones have very little bearing surface, meaning less pressure, meaning less velocity ( In some rifles...) My .223AI was only getting 3200 out of the 50 TTSX whilst the same rifles gets 3500 out of a 55 gr. Horn..( 3100 out of the 64 grainer Nosler) That said, my .22-250 clocks the lighter Barnes just about right... I gotta try some Barnes 62s....

62TSX is where I start with them.
Easy to up the pressure with more powder.

I tried upping the pressure on the 50s with more powder...no bueno... Im thinking 62s will be the answer to my prayers....

Nothing a good 3 groove 8 twist tube can't cure.

I'm maxing out in the 3100's with the 64 BSB and the 62 TSX out of my Montana. Granted, just a 9 twist vanilla 223. Accuracy has been far from stellar with both. I've been focusing on TAC, but may try some different powders today.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

You guy's are bringing back my doubts about the compatibility of my 12 twist Remington 700 .223 with these bullets. Time will tell when I can get to the bench.

25 of TAC was the best for far.
I tried H4895 and Varget this afternoon. Nothing stellar there either. So far this rifle with any bullet is an 1 1/4" shooter. Not really what I want in a 223...

Is the rifle bedded and free floated?

I agree, if I can't get anything better in my 5R, I'll scrap the bullet.

Your 5R will shoot just fine.
