    55gr TTSX works good in my 223. what powder charge are you using? they seemed to be more accurate grouping wise, the faster they went.

    Anything in Barnes 53 gr and over wouldn't stabilize with the 1-12 twist, with the 50 gr using 25.5 gr 2206 not 2206H, getting excellent accuracy. Have used Barnes for more than 20 years, have also found that the accuracy is better at the top end of the powder load.
