Check your specs on the ltr I believe the twist is 10x
If I am wrong and it is 12x the 150's to 180's will work much better but the 125's will work with the 12x fine.

I have a Rem VSLH with the 1/12 twist and it shoots 125gr bullets just fine.

The link above show 12x. I do believe though that the older models are 10x
Anyone out there who can shed some light on this?? Or have I been in the dark all this time?! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Generally a 308 barrel with a properly dimensioned bore will shoot the light bullets extremely well, even if they have a 1-10 or 1-12 twist.
The main problem would be rotational stresses weakening the jacket core bond which you will never see with the 308 WIn for one thing and for another, the 125 gr Ballistic Tip will handle anything you can throw at it that way.
On average, I would say it will shoot these bullets very well.
