Bullets in a 1-9" twist bolt gun or AR...

I've shot SMK 69 in my Savage 1 in 9 with great results. Better than 55 or 62. Lately I've tried Hornady 68 grain that are actually longer than the 69 SMK and got even better groups. The Hornady 68 are as long as some 75 grain projectiles so I suppose those would do just as well.
I've noticed that finding the sweet spot on the seating depth can make bigger difference than the bullet type. That being said, longer projectile can be seated closer to the rifling than the short ones.
