62 grain bullet in .223

[idaho220hunter]

Has anyone used this bullet in their .223? I believe my twist rate is 1-12.....just wondering if 1)will stabilize and 2) how much drop over 55 grain.
I know I would have no problems in 1-9 twist but just wondering if anyone had used in their 1-12 barrel and results.

I've tried 60 grain pills and they have been ok in my 1:12 but my gun has done best with the 40's. I've got a small handful of 3/8" or under at 100yd loads with 40 grainers and with different powders.

Here is one batch of 5 at 200yds with 40 grain:



And I had another picture somewhere and 4 out of 5 were in 1/2" at 200yds and the 5th was only 3/8" away from the others for a total 7/8" spread. I've learned to like the 40's, though a bit of wind will give them fits.
