Looking for feedback on this projectile in the .224. I will be using it in a Remington 5R 1:9 twist
 
They wouldn’t stabilize in my 1:9 savage 12fv.
they would keyhole at 100 yards.
Neither would the 69 custom competition.
But a 73 eldm would so go figure.‍♂️

interesting.... The 69 gr custom competitions do pretty well in my 1:9 5R bbl
 
.223, 2 barrels. 1 20" 1-9, 1 26" 1-9 which belongs to my buddy. Both barrels shoot the Nosler RDF 70 grain bullets good . We banged steel out to various distances with no problem. 500-700 yards. They were load developed on paper first, minimal testing. No keyholing
