Gentlemen
I was just given a box of 500 Hornady 68gr. Match BTHP bullets. Can I expect these to properly stabilize in a 9" twist barrel? The box says that they should be used in a 7" - 10" twist only. What's your opinion? I have been using 55 grainers, and the rifle will shoot consistant 3/8" groups at 100 yards.
These 68 grainers are really good quality bullets, and if I can't expect them to shoot well in my gun, I would rather give them to someone who can use them in theirs.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
