You may see better results with heavier bullets dependant upon the rate of twist of your barrel. I know that in my Rem700 bullets less than 70 grains would not group well consistently. I would get a group or 2 in the .5 range with 60g Sierra's but they didn't group that well all of the time. When I went to the 75g Btip, they shot .4 to .6 all of the time. That barrel shot well with any bullet in the 87 to 100 g range but was really finiky with light bullets. Of course they're all different. I know that I never felt shorted with a 75g btip on ghogs to 400 yds or so. And actually I had a lot better kill ratio with them over the 60g. Just my 2cents.
