223REM and Hornady .224" 69gn Aeromatch .

Has anyone had good or better results with this bullet? It appears to be a HPBT Matchking clone. I have a 26" 9 twist. I want to try them and am looking to hear from anyone who's had luck with finding a great load.

25.4 grain of Shooters World Match Rifle powder in brass with 31.2 gr H2O capacity, 24" barrel, Wylde chamber and 1:8 twist produces groups 1/2 - 3/4 MOA.

While Hornady doesn't explicitly say, they are implying it's a clone of the SMK 69 gr.

I've never shot that particular 69 gr bullet, but my 1:9 twist 26-inch barrel has shot every 69 gr bullet that I fed it (SMKs, TMKs, Nosler CCs, and RMRs) very accurately, even the 69 RMRs that are pretty low cost -
The 68 gr Hornady Match bullets shot terrible, but that is an old bullet design, I believe.
70 gr Berger VLDs and Nosler RDFs also shot very accurately.
I'll have to try the Aeromatch 69s.
