In a word, yes.
OTM= Open Tip Match, commonly used to refer to the Hornady match bullets, but really applies to most "HP" type precision bullets, inlcluding the Sierra Match King (AKA: SMK) and Nosler versions. Generally not the same kind of hollow point that you find in handgun ammo, as the "open tip" of the match rounds has more to do with how the bullets are formed, than with its expansion or fragmentation. read the FAQ |

Yes they will stabilize. OTM and BTHP are one in the same.

1/10 is a slower twist than 1/9.
1/9 = 1 complete revolution or twist in 9 inches. It will shoot the 68/69 bullets. |
