[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 739112, member: 11717"] A big issue with some M77's is the angled front action screw. You want to make sure that it is properly torqued and not touching anything. You were probably told or should have been told that your rifle's twist was too slow, not too fast. The Barnes web site lists a required twist of 1-11" for the 180 TTSX. Most factory .308 cal rifles have a 1-11 or 1-10" twist. Ruger is showing 1-10" for their .308 cals which is more twist than you need but NOT too fast. You should be good with the 180 TTSX. I prefer the 180 Tips. Good shooting, Mark [/QUOTE]
