    62gr HPBT Hornady from Midsouth


    Anyone try these bullets? I just ordered 1.5K from them. They are pretty cheap compared to a lot of bullets out there. I can not find much info on them. I have 3 different guns I want to try them in. One Axis 223 with a HB. It shoots everything fairly well. Then 2 AR15's. One is picky on what it likes the other shoots just about everything the same. Right between a .80"- 1.1" groups.

    I bought 500 of them a while back and haven't tried them yet. I'm hoping to get out and try them soon. Keep us updated with your results.

    Tried out some with RL10x. I got 2 loads weights that are under an inch out of my 16" 1-9 twist AR. I have some more loaded with H4895 and TAC. Going to try these in my 18" 1-7 twist SS upper. Just have to wait till I fix the front ball joints on my Jeep. The private range I use you have to have a 4WD to get to it.

    just remember they are "inexpensive' blasting bullets, not target bullets.
    set your expectations correctly and have fun.

    My 9 twist M70HV likes them OK. They average 1/2" for me.

    Adding my 2 cents a bit late but. That bullet shoots extremely well in my 9 twist factory 223 barrel. With 25.1 grains of Varget it puts five into a half inch at 200 yards. I'm seating them about .005" OTL. Loads are in Lapua brass and Br-4 primers.

    That's good to know! That's the first rifle I'm gonna try them in. I've got an 8 twist AR to run them thru also.
