With the faster twist rate you should be able to shoot the heavier bullets if you want to. As far as lighter bullets well you will have to try a few to see. For general purpose plinking loads the 55 grain Reminton should get into the minute of pop can at 100 yards without fail. Even better if you can milk it for that. Though they are flat based. Those are the cheapest I would go.

The Hornady 55 grain FMJBT will do a good bit better. With a price of less than $15 for 100 they should be worth a try. If they do well, and you want even better than V-Max cost a slight bit more, and give even better results.

68 grain HPBT Match Hornady are great in fast twist rate barrels. My 1 in 9 Savage drives tacks with them using Varget, and Reloader15.
