45 gr soft point hornady's in a 1 in 12 twist
Hey guys, How do you think the factory 45 grain soft point honady's will shoot out my my ruger m77 mark II ultra light, 1 in 12 twist barrel? Thanks

They shoot really well in my CZ 527 American. In the ballpark of 0.5-0.8 inch groups @ 100 yds.
Wonderful on coyotes also!

Factory loads shoot sub-MOA in my 1:12" Savage.

I have a Remington 700 SPS varmint this is the only round that will group in side a 10 cent coin at a 100 meters, 32,34,39 amd gram bullets won't group under 3 inches with my rifle. The 45 still doe's the job. Here in New Zealand a box of Hornaby 45's cost $38

There's no predicting whether or not they'll shoot in your particular rifle, but that's part of the fun, finding out for yourself.. My rifles aren't crazy about it, but they do shoot that 45 gr. load better than a 40 grain load. I have an older Savage and a CZ sporter, the CZ handles them better than the Savage. I haven't shot many of them, just one box of factory ammo, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them calling in coyotes.
