It is in fact a 1:12 twist (244). As far as the powders that is unfortunate I just loaded 50 rounds. I have a heavy barrel 1" at the crown and of course the 1903 action behind it. I guess even with that combo it is still dangerous. I guess pulling the bullets is my next step, and going with the...

Roomer is that Remington is releasing brass in Feb 2013. Also lots of Nosler are available but for a high price, around $60 for a box of 25.

I have a 1903 Springfield in rem 244, and am experimenting with 75grain A-max bullets. I worked up a load form an old manual with hogdon H322. Looking back now I cant find data to support a 34 grain charge with the H322. I also noticed excessive air space in the case. The accuracy from this load...

Hello all, I am always looking to expand my knowledge base on firearms, so I found this site. I shoot a sporterized 1903A3 springfield chambered in .244 Remington, which is a tack driver. I also shoot a Ruger 77 MK2 in 7mm SAUM, of which I'm still trying to tame. I have hornady match 7mm 162...
