I have bought a Mossberg mpv predator in .233. What I need help with is what grain bullet should this rifle shoot well? I have shot 55 grains and 62 grain bullets through it and so far it seems to like the 62 better. It has a 1:9 twist and a 20 inch barrel. Does the 1:9 twist supposed to shoot the heavier bullets better or the lighter ones? I appreciate any help you folks can send my way. Thanks, Travis

I would try something in the 70 gr. range. Should be about ideal for a 9 twist. Good luck.

69 grain Nosler Custom Competition bullet with 24g of Varget to start and work up.
Thanks fellows for the replies. I will give these a try.
My LTR liked the 69 SMK real well, until it gave up the ghost (burnt out barrel @ about 7200 rnds). The new factory LTR barreled action hasn't told me what it likes best yet. I also have a .223 700P that just as of yesterday proved it likes the 55 NBT and the 60 Vmax using Benchmark. Actually I was shocked to see torn out holes that ranged from .3-.6". It seemed the faster I sent them the better they printed.
