I’ve been using the 55gr sp for work and rate them. Just get them they are surprisingly effective and accurate
Have you compared the 55gr and 62gr?Quote:

Its what I would definitely use again if I didn't enjoy fiddling with my own handholds.

Tried some of the h&f as Nick recommended and did the job 3 groups all bang on an inch.just have to order some belmont now
Belmont is struggling to get reloading components. FWIW, my 1:9 twist Howa shot their 55 gr thru one ragged hole at 100m, but did not like the 62 gr so much.
At 300m the 55 gr was very wind susceptible so I bought a heavy barrel 1:8 twist rig. That rifle does not like 55 gr, handles 62’s ok, but loves Belmonts 77 gr with SMK pills; again not currently available to my knowledge.
