[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 771334, member: 15748"] Bigbuck, Not with a 168, anyway. Total waste of time for these ranges, or for anything much beyond 700 yards or so. The 175s would be a better choice, but the 16" barrel is going to hamper you regardless of which bullet you choose. The 1x10" twist will handle anything up to and including the 190s or 200 grain match bullets, but how well they do so all the way out to 1,000 yards will be the big question here. We recently built several AR-10, M110 competitive Long Range Service Rifles, and built them around the Berger 185 Hybrid. These are full-size 20" barrels, and we went with a 9.3" twist, just for a little added insurance here. Might want to try some various combinations, but I think that 16" barrel is going to be the big drawback for the long range stuff. [/QUOTE]
