75gr 22cal in a 1-9

[Alaskaman11]

Hi guys, do you think I can get away with a 75gr Hornady in a 700 with a 1-9 twist. Got a line on these but dont want to spend on them if they wont shoot past 300 yards.

 

[camocorvette]

Personally I wouldn't buy them.

Maybe you get away with it, maybe you don't. I don't know. I always get 1/7 twist for 223/556 barrels.

I think 69 smks are probably as "heavy" as you want to go in a 1/9 twist.

Here's some threads with more insight.

Any luck with heavies in a 1:9 twist .223?

If so, what's your load. I am running a Stag/S&W hybrid M-4 with a 1:9 twist. I get good results with 60ish grain bullets, but was thinking I might want to try something in the heavier/better BC class so I am reaching out to the experts.

223 1-9 twist

Hey guys, Looking for some honest input here. Running a 700P in 223, 1-9 twist factory tube. I know these things rick ragged holes with 68-69gr pills. I have never loaded heavier than that in the 223. My question is this, with the 1-9 twist, how heavy a pill will it stabalize? Is it feasible...

1-7 or 1-9 twist..WHICH IS BETTER for AR-M4??

1-7 or 1-9 twist..WHICH IS BETTER for AR-M4?? I have a 1/9 on my Bushy and the groups are about baseball size at 50 yrds with ACOG ta33-8. My RRA has a 1/7 and the groups at 50 yrds are quarter size with my irons. I am thinking I am shaky with the ACOG because sometimes I can hold a tighter grop...

I run 55gr in my Ruger 1-9 and 62gr up to 77gr in my Sig 1-7.

69 SMK is a best bet. It’s been tried before. 300 yards, zero reason to gamble on a lesser bullet. Run some at 3000fps and check back in.

Hey, Thank you get getting all this put together. Sounds like folks with the 700P are having the best luck with the 69's. I guess i'll just stick with them.

 

[camocorvette]

No worries!

I shot thousands of 75 A-Max through Remington 700 .223's with 1:9 twist and they always stabilized and shot great with no apparent detriment to the BC. I am at 3000 ft altitude which does help with stability.

 

[hlee]

I tried 77 gr hand loads out of a 1:9 AR barrel. Most of the bullets that found the paper, did so sideways. It is sub moa with my 62 gr handloads.

being in Ten now, I cant find alt or cool weather. The summer time soup weather would not help for sure.

I shoot 80.5’s out of a 1/9 so……

sweet, how do your groups look at distance? Do you have any keyholing?

 

[Cfshooter]

They look good. No keyholes. 26” barrel.

 

[Alaskaman11]

Outstanding

What program do you use for that?

 

[Cfshooter]

What program do you use for that?

Sub MOA on iPhone

 

[SporterII]

Interesting. You measure the twist?

 

[stello1001]

I shoot 77SMK out of 9 twist and they shoot just fine...

 

[Cfshooter]

Interesting. You measure the twist?

I have not.

 

[Old Corps 8541]

Didn't Rem. offer a "police special"in 223 with a 1-7 twist so they could use FGMM 223 w/ 77 SMK ?

I'd do some searching for twist / stabilizer programs . Which H 75 are you looking at ? the 75 BTHP, the 75 A Max, or the 75 ELD-M ?

they were the 75 BTHP is the one I have a line on, But data is data and i'll take all you have if you have any

Oh, i have 2 1/9's that shoot the 75bthp great. a 20" and that 26".

 

[powdahound76]

69 or 75, look at RMR bullets

No affiliation, just know a good bargain and they shoot well.

 

[Cfshooter]

I would be hesitant to go the RMR route, i see way more people that do not like them than do.

 

[powdahound76]

Maybe they suck at reloading or shooting?

I know plenty who like them a lot.



Worth trying if they work for a guy

 

[SporterII]

“my gun shoots” is ambiguous.
Like I said, it’s been done. A lot.
If your Remington 700 P is marked 1/9, ……
300 and in, try a box.

 

[abn31c]

Don't overlook the Berger 70 VLD, shoots good in my 9 twist ar and really good in my 7 twist carbine.

I am about 3500 and my factory Remington 1 in 9 would not shoot the 75 a max. Its was fine with the 77 SMK though.

Best way I know to find out would be to shoot a few. IF they don't shoot save them for the next barrel.

 

[psharon78]

I had a 223 that had a 1.9 twist. Heaviest I could go was 85gr.

 

[gopherslayer]

The 75BTHP work fine in a 9 twist. Load them and go.

Contrary to popular belief the 77TMK shoot well on a 9 twist also. I haven’t shot my Ruger Hawkeye farther than 100yards with them but my savages have gone to 350 and do just fine. Also have shot 75gr Amax from the savages and have had zero stability issues.
