The main reason I make myself unpopular for saying these things other than it being what i think, is that it would be very easy for the new shooters who haven’t the experience level as yet to be convinced that all this is normal and necessary in the name of accuracy.
Fact is it isn’t, and far from it, at least for the vast majority of us.
I guess you miss my point too.

The 77gn bullets shoot better than the 69gn for me in my .223 Axis.

If you don't want to try them then don't. Does not matter to me. I am glad you are happy with what you shoot.
