[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1318332, member: 96226"] 80's won't play on a 9 twist, period. So far 77's haven't ever shown me that they'd work in any 9twist. I'd be surprised if the 80's got 25m point first honestly. I've gotten 75gn BTHPs (untipped 75's) but not 77gn's to behave in my 24" 9twist. From my 26" 7 twist there are no real limits except the 90gn monsters. Really have to push heavies hard though if you want anything over a 70gn to behave from a 9twist. 73ELD's have been pretty epic for me but yeah, diff gun, diff result. I'm pretty sure I can get 3050 from the 73's. Wish you still had those ELD's. I'd have bought them for your cost + shipping. I love them and so do my .223 rifles. FWIW, I'm using a 24" Mossberg factory 9:1 barrel (about to retire this pipe, it's pretty shot out) a 16" Del-Ton 9:1 barrel and a 26" Black Hole Weaponry 7 twist barrel. [/QUOTE]
