Barnes bullet selection for .223 rifles.
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.

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

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