| whats the heaviest grain i can shoot with my 1 by 9 |
| Most 69 grain will shoot fine. The 75gn Hornady BTHP MIGHT work fine. The only way to know for sure is to get a small quantity of the ammo in question and shoot it. Each barrel a little different in what it will shoot. In the case of the 69gn SMK or Nosler Match bullets, the lenght of the bullet is such that velocity matters a lot. The difference of a few FPS will have it on the ragged edge of stability or unstable. |

However, Black Hills does (or did when I bought it) print on their box that 75 or 77 gr. (Can't recall which I bought, think it was 75) is their limit for 1:9 twist. My 700PSS confirmed this to me personally. You may or may not get the results you need. |
