The yanks seem to have this thing for light projectiles, most 22-250 ammunition is loaded with light pills, and they build stupid big wildcats like the 6.5-300wby with the sole intention of making a 123gr 6.5 bullet go stupid fast. They also invented a thing called the 25-06..... I just cant get my head around that cartridge

Because 40gr NBTs at 3800 are pretty amazing..

Because hitting a rabbit with a 32gr Vmax is awesome.....

Seriously, it depends on what you want it for. Mine was for Varminting and the 32-50gr weights work really well, go over 55gr and results start to get less accurate. Minute of goat rather than minute of rabbit at 300 metres. for an all rounder, the 1: or 1:9 would be rather good too though.

Run a heavy pill and you wont have that issue

Ive shot great groups further then that with my fast twist 223s running the factory belmont 77gn ammo.

Light pills slow down fast and get beat to death in the wind

Great for the splatter effect tho
