Thanks Ahmed. Didn't realise the photo sent with the email was a .410 by Boss, but makes sense as the filename included 410 ... makes sense.

My comment direct to Ahmed his question:

For a 5.6x50R my preference would depend on the use planned. I think when I shot a double rifle with a barrel in 5.6x50R it was 55gr Hirtenberger “Nosler” style partition bullets. For use on roe deer in Europe. The other barrel was a .22 Magnum barrel for small game. The 5.6 barrel was nice and accurate. The .22 magnum barrel was not as accurate.
.
I like a 50 gr bullet in my .222’s for small game such as rabbits, foxes, hares. Actually even a lighter bullet such as a 45gr. I prefer the 55gr when I use my .222 to shoot fallow deer for meat. Go for brain shots only. A 55 gr or 60 gr plus bullet would be better for small deer or roos. And of course if you plan to use it on goats or feral pigs.
.
Myself, I would choose a 50 gr projectile for it.

I didn't think of the use of a heavier projectile might make it easier for regulation if trying lighter bullets later on.

Good to see the answers and ideas provided here on NE.
