If you want true out-of-the-box accuracy, chamber one of these open tip match loads in your 223 Rem (or 5.56x45) rifle of choice. Fifty-two grains is indeed light for a match bullet. It may not buck wind resistance as effectively as a heftier bullet, though it’ll cut a pancake-flat trajectory through the air all the same. The OTM’s nose cavity doesn’t enable terminal expansion. It’s merely the cosmetic remnant of a process which yields one of the most balanced and aerodynamic bullets known to man. Military snipers frequently prove as much out in the field.
Remington places this round’s bullet’s G1 BC at 0.253. That’s high relative to its slightly lighter-than-average weight, and representative of the following ballistics:
