What is the largest bullet that can be used with accuracy in a 1-9 twist barrel.  Will the green tip shoot good?

Thanks everyone

Joe

I have had good luck with up to 69 grain bullets.  62's do great. 69 grains is the heaviest I have tried in 1x9.  Just picked up a new Bushy barrel in 1x7 that I am going to try some bullets in the 70's range.

I'd stick with 55

I have one that will shoot 75gr fine, and one that won't.

Surprisingly, it's the 11.5" that likes them, and the 16" tumbles them.
