Congratulations!
Might have to back it down to 60gr Nosler Partitions if the 1:9 barrel has a low ceiling for grouping those 70gr Accubonds.

i am sure it will group fine
i have stabilized 64 bsb in a 1:12

if some some reason it dont 64 bsb of 53 grain tsx will work great or the 60 partition.

a lot of people are stabilizing the 69 smk and some even 75 amax with a 1:9

i will break the barrel in soon and we shall see

It will positively stabilize.

My Axis is 1:9. Still playing with a load. No matter what I try no tumble, single .224 hole in target.

DA, ya got any preferences for starting powder?


Nosler only lists it under "5.56×45 NATO Load Data".

Alliant shows RL15 for 69 gr Sierra HPBT
