1x9 is iffy.
My 1x9 barrels will not stabilize 75 grain Hornady HPBTs. My 1x8 has no problem with them. |

One of my barrels seems to do fine with 75 grain bullets but the other one has a noticeable decrease in accuracy.
I no longer shoot 70+ grain bullets through either barrel. |

I could never get my 1-9 to shoot the 69gr SMk worth a crap.
Others say it works well for them. Could be iffy. TXL |

Depends on the barrel. My 1/9 likes eats up 69 grain Sierra Matchkings like candy and asks for more. Haven't tried any heavier.

i have 2 friends with bushys 1:9 that will not shoot anything heavier than 69 gr. 2 others have stags 1:9 that shoot 75 gr. great. My ARs have 1:7 and 1:8 so the shoot 50 to 77 gr. great.

My Colt AR6721 with a 1/9 barrel will shoot 75gr TAP, but the accuracy is nothing to write home about. On the other hand, one of my shooting buddies has a 1/9 Bushmaster that is extremely accurate with the same ammo...Go figure.

All I shoot from my Remington 700P 1/9 is 77gr Black Hills 5.56mm Mk262, and it loves it.

Same way I can afford FA - work my ass off since 15 and have no life outside of working hunting and fishing.

mine does just fine out to 225 yards ahven't tried much further than that. I suspect things would start happening much further than that in a 1:9
