Anyone with any experience with these yet? Wondering if they will stabilize out of a 1-9" twist barrel .223.
Hornady .224 75gr ELD Match

Since no one else is chiming in like I figured they all would...
I suspect youll get mixed reports. Some claim they will and others that they wont. I suspect those that say they do are at higher elevations and higher velocities while those who say they dont are in lower denser air or shorter barrels. I personally havent tried a 75 grainer in mine because I ran the numbers on the JBM or berger stability calc way back when I got I and basically calculated that it wasnt worth wasting my time trying a 75gr over the 69 grains. And now that the 70 rdf is out I dont see myself trying to (provided I can get it to shoot)
