[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1051997, member: 77249"] If you read the history of the 308 Win. When it first came out Winchesters first rifles had a 1-12 twist in them and the heaviest bullet they loaded was a 200 Gr. bullet in Win. factory loads. Many Big Bear and Moose Hunters wanted 220 gr. loads. They stayed with and advocated the 30-06 with its 1-10 twist which would stabilize 220 gr. bullets. If you have the throat cut deep enough and have an action long enough to allow the heavy bullets to be seated with the base of the bullet at the neck shoulder junction should work great. Heavy long bullets will eat powder space if you have to seat the heavy bullets to factory OACL. My Remington Model 78 (One of the first when they hit the market) will only shoot so so groups with 180 and 150 gr. bullets. This rifle with Win. Brass, Win. LR primer and IMR 4895 and 125 gr. Sierra will shoot near one hole groups at 100 yds. Good Luck in your project. [/QUOTE]
