I played with 52gr SMK's in mine and they worked fine. What shocked me was, Sierra 55gr FMJ-BT's were even better. It was pretty counter-intuitive, but the hard evidence was right there in my face. Every rifle is different though, maybe mine just happened to like standard FMJs. I never dipped down into the 40's though.
This was on a 20" barrel though. Length can have a substantial impact and it seems to be overlooked a lot. What length are you shooting?
