OK day at the range today. Still trying to dial in my L42A1 clone with the lighter (36 gr) H4895. I confirmed a loss of approximately 1/4" accuracy with the 174 PPU FMJ BT's with a string of six rounds. I then shot nine 180 gr Sierra Prohunters with the same lighter powder load. I got back that 1/4" of accuracy. I've ordered some Sierra 174 Matchkings and they should be here this week. Question. Other than the hollow point, they look similar to the PPU FMJ's. Will they not shoot pretty much the same? Thanks!
