Greetings Gents,
Almost every box of bullets I pick up near 180 grains call for 1:12 twist. I only have one barrel in that twist but the 178s shoot best in all 4 of my 308s.
At the moment I have 2x20 inches an 18.5 and a 16 inch. Also have a Handi rifle in going to cut to 18.5.
I'm running 43.6 grains of Varget or 44.5 Winchester 748 for 2570-2600 out of the 20 inch guns. I have VV N540, 4064 and Tac to test as well.
Question. How are you running your 180s in 308 and what are my potential impacts of a heavier Bullet at lower starting velocity in this set of short guns.
Share some of your loads and experience on game at these weights if you feel so inclined.
