Barnes bullet selection for .223 rifles.

[Azalin]

There are several offerings for rounds loaded with various Barnes all copper bullets. The bullets weigh 53, 55, 62 and 60 grains. Which loads perform best? I read the sticky threads but did not see any information which would indicate which grain weight bullet to select. All of my rifles have 1-7" twist.

Thank you.

Any should be fine. What are you shooting or plan to shoot? I'm loading 70gr. Barnes TSX and 55gr. RRLP in my handloads.

Specifically I am interested in which performs best through intermediate barriers, specifically laminated glass, and which provides the best terminal performance.

I like the 55 gr.

I like the 55 gr.

Why do you prefer that weight vs. the 62s?

[DocGKR]

It offers good penetration and terminal performance, is accurate out of barrels with most twist rates, and works well in short barrels.
