Prior to hand loading .223 I purchased some Match 69 Grain from Georgia Arms Reloaders. This bullet appears to shoot extremely well in all of my AR 223 from the 16 to 20" and the 1:8 and 1:9 twist.
I can not identify who makes a 69 grain JHP with a cannalur? They use 748 powder and what appears to be a dillon 1050 with a rather strange looking crimp. Looks like slots (about 4) around the neck.
I usually get .50 to .75 MOA with this bullet in all of my guns and I would like to duplicate this load.
Any help on bullet identification?

Well it's not Sierra, Hornady or Speer. Sierra makes a 69 HPBT that works real well in
223s with your twist but it has no cannalur (which is unecessary except for full auto)

I bought a bunch of 68gr hpbt with cannulure from Midway a month or so back that were advertised as "blemished". I can't find a blemish and as far as I can tell they are made by Hornady. Probaly the same bullet you are talking about.
