[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 763314, member: 5219"] Bobo, You said your friend's rifle couldn't stabilize the 125s. The reason is NOT a stability issue due to twist rate. You said it was built to shoot the 165 gr bullet. If someone at Remington told him that he doesn't know much about rifles. A 1 in 12 twist 308 win will stabilize any bullet up to 180 grains. The breech you refer to is the throat. Sure the 308 is throated to accomodate longer bullets. It might be an issue in obtaining accuracy with a shorter/lighter bullet. Just because a rifle has a longer throat doesn't mean it cannot shoot well. Look at the weatherby lineup. Some of those rifles have a huge jump to the rifling called freebore. The original freebore in weatherby rifles was .375". That is huge yet the rifles shot quite accurately. It might have been best to say my friend's factory remington rifle didn't want to a 125 gr shoot X brand bullet. ------------- For the original poster. Nosler announced recently that they will be producting a 125 gr accubond! [/QUOTE]
