I finally have 99% of my reloading stuff together for my rifle fodder. all that is left is to get the powder, primers, and bullets.
and while i already know what bullet weight I'm getting for my .303 (174gr SMKs are a given there) i am still unsure as to which weight of MatchKing to use in my savage 12FV in .223.
so in a 1in9 twist factory barreled rifle that will be shot a 600yards at least once a year, hopefully more, which is a better bet 69gr or 77gr??
the 69s in the Black Hills match i used in my last match seemed to work fairly well but then again i've been told that the lighter ones can act up in the wind, but i'm a little concerned that the 77s might need a little faster twist. but since i don't know much about such things i'll defer to the judgement of others who know more/have more experience, in that regard.
