I have had some real good luck with 60 v-max loads in my mini but yesterday I tried 55 gr blitzking sierra and did not get a good group at all. I don't think I was pushing them fast enough, using the same powder load as the 60 gr. I'm shooting a 196 series with the 1-9 twist.
What do you guys shoot flat base or boat tail bullets?
