If you're going to walk on the bubble I believe the faster you send them the slower you can spin them.....1/8 works for me. I'm not one to be leaning heavy on the powder and I just don't care to play with the bullet timer as often as I should...so other's results may vary.

60% White
25% Medium Grey
15% Black I was giving serious thought yesterday (OK, day dreaming) about the perfect colors and ratio mix for a winter calling rifle, and ironically those were exactly it. I'm anxious to see what it looks like.........I'm sure you are too.

BTW, I bought the rifle in question and had it Ackley'd. I've got a pile of Amaxes, but haven't tried 'em yet. It's a 1/2" rifle with the cheap bullets and AA2230C I've been using so far. I dropped it into a B&C Tactical stock and dabbed the lug. The Stretch Armstrong stock it came with didn't inspire much confidence.

I've had 1-9" LTR barrels that wouldn't stabilize the 75 amax, that did quite nicly with 75 berger VLD's.

I haven't tried the AMax, but my LTR shoots the 75 Berger VLD into little groups.

Will a '9 twist shoot the 77gr Noslers or the 70 and 75gr Berger VLDs? NOPE! Gotta be 1 in 8. You'll get ur feelings hurt with a 1in 9

9 twists if true, can stablize up to some of the 80 grain bullets.
It will take max loads to get max speed, but it can easily be done.
A shooting partner of my wifes, rebarreled all his ARs in 9 twist, generally Obermeyer if he had them, and shot 80 bergers exclusively on the 600 yard line...
The only real way to know is buy and try.
The 9 should stabilize ANY 70 grain bullet that I'm aware of being made, with the possible exception of the 70 tsx due to length...

I have a 700 XCR compact tactical. Basically Remake of the LTR and it stabilizes 75Amax just fine.

I have a a take-off barrel from an SPS Tactical chambered in .223 AI on one of my rifles. It is cut to 20" and is the 1:9" twist.
Its shoots 75gr Amax, and the 70gr Berger very well.
