[QUOTE="Catbrain, post: 2909231, member: 127536"] been loading for and shooting 308 (mostly) for about 20 years and some 223. Have not tried any 308 beyond 180 gr noslers. They are one hole at 100 through the savage. I limit the M1a to 150 and 165gr- but with 150 gr A-max or nosler I can get about 1/2 moa on a good day. (the previous owner was an elderly bench rest shooter who accurized it :-) ) what would be considered "heavy for caliber " in 308 or 30-06 ? Higher than 180 ? I think some of the ww1 era bolt guns were throated for 220 gr round nose..... I will have to research to see if springfiels went with a shorter throat before WW2 when they started using 150 gr bullets. Heavy 308 would not be going all that fast- but it would get there --- prob 30-06 would do a bit better heavy--- [/QUOTE]
