I second Bwaites remark concerning twist rate. I have used many NATO chamber 1:9" and haven't been able to stabilize anything over a 60grain bullet past 225-275 yards. I just tried a few months ago with barnes 62ttsx and it worked great, till about 250 yards where it began keyholing targets. I have a target I set out at 500yards and the 62 was perfectly vertical when it hit. very nice bullet hole in my target but that thing turns into a shuriken once past 200 or so.
