New (heavier) bullets for my AR's...

I received a bunch of new bullets in a trade. All are a bit heavier than my typical 55gr AR loads. Here's what I have...

Sierra 69gr. HPBT Match King
Sierra 77gr. HPBT Match King
Hornady 60gr. Vmax
Hornady 75gr. HPBT Match

My rifles have 1:7, 1:8 and 1:9 twist barrels.

I have plenty of cook books at home (currently away on business) and have looked at a few loads online. Does anyone have any experience with any of these projectiles through an AR?

Just general info is fine. Any preferences?
 
Yes, I’ve played with all but the 77 smk. In AR and bolt guns. Only punched paper with them. All loaded with Varget.

Both Sierras you have shoot great out of my 8 twist Stag in front of TAC. I found the Hornady 75gr. HPBT Match for dirt cheap around here, so sticking with those. They were quite a bit cheaper than the Sierras.
 
Have shot all of them. 23.5-25 gr Varget and a CCI #450 primer. The longer ones will eat up a little powder room so back off on them. Probably down to 23.5 or so.
