I will eventually load some 75 to 77 just because at longer distances they receive less deflection from wind and such but it is the length of the bullet and not the weight that does the work. Some Coyote hunting friends of mine in GA swear by the 52 or 53 grain bullet, they claim it is longer than the 55 and sails better, this too I will check out.
