Anyone have any experience with the Hornady Frontier 68gr BTHP? I found some for sale locally but I don't know much about it.  I did some googling and it seems there were some overpressure issues with the 55gr Frontier, but I'm not sure if the 68gr ever had any issues. Also wondering what kind of accuracy to expect.   Appreciate any info.

Just got a pile of 68gr Hornady BTHP pills since I couldn't find any Berger 70's. Bullets themselves are standard Hornady fare. They're a decent match bullet and so far pushing 3100fps from a 26" tube is no challenge. BC is nothing to write home about but the bullets themselves seem to work fine. As far as commercial ammo... meh. Haven't bought centerfire ammo in over a decade so I couldn't say.

I've not used the Frontier 68gr, but their 75gr shoot about 1.5 MOA from my limited experience in a 1-8 BCM 410SS barrel.

I've heard 68gr can be a bit more varied on if it shoots well vs the 69gr stuff.
