That's something of a misstatement. It's not so much the weight of the bullet but its length, the heavier bullets also tend to be longer.
1:7 is usually preferred because it will stabilize the broadest range of bullet weights/length.
1:7 will also stabilize heavy bullets (77gr) much better than 1:9.
1:9 stabilizes slightly better if you're going to be shooting exclusively 55gr but if you're shooting 62 grain it will do just fine.
I'd stick with your barrel in the meantime. Shoot the cheap ammo all you want (Fiocchi .223 is my fav go-to practice ammo).
