IMHO, given that you can get 77gr SMK for the same price from Creedmoor Sports ( and 77gr or 69gr TMK for slightly more, a few dollars. )
I would rather shoot with those. I have had very good results accuracy wise with Creedmoor Sports 77gr SMK .223 load. Velocity is good to go as well. If you had a 1n9 twist, then I would certainly consider IMI a good choice... but your 1n8 "should" handle the 77gr's just fine. Best bet would be to buy some of "everything" and see which one your barrel likes the best. You can save yourself all sorts of grief by trying as many different 68-77 gr match ammos , then buying in bulk. |

Your 1/8 will handle 77gr SMKs. It will stabilize 'em in any condition.
If you want 69s, I'd buy the ADI load. That stuff is stupid accurate. My 1/9 bolt gun will toss 10 round groups of it into .7-.8 moa easily. |

I ended up ordering a case of the CBC/Magtech 77-grain OTM. I'd shot some about a year ago (granted, out of a 1:7 barrel from a different manufacturer), and found it to get 1moa without issue, so I'm going to give that a try again. |

Seen a lot of reviews on the 77-grain IMI Razor Core, but nothing on the 69-grain. What's the verdict on this ammo? I'd be shooting this out of a 1:8" twist, fairly lightweight-profiled barrel out to a maximum of 300 yards without magnification and with a 50-yard zero. Looking for something that will hold tighter groups than Wolf Gold, while still being a valid short-to-mid range SHTF option, mainly. I have sold a lot of both and they are both great products. Peak performance between the 2 options will vary gun to gun, I would recommend trying 40-60 rounds each at the range and see what your gun shoots well |

I have a rifle that loves 69 smk more so than the 77 smk. It's a 1/8, and will shoot the 77 just fine, but shoots the 69 a bit better.
Waiting for some more of that ADI to get back in stock! |

I bought 500 rounds a few months ago from SG. Haven't shot any yet but I honestly don't even know what role it's for, I just bought it cuz... sometimes I get curious
Was gonna be my HD ammo out of my 11.5" BCM pistol but I bought 4.5k rounds of 75gr Speer GDs like a week later and now I don't know what role I should give to this stuff. |

My 1/9" bolt gun will toss those 69gr ADIs into .7-.8MOA all day long without much effort on my part. Super accurate for a factory load. I just lay around and plink paper with 'em...
