[QUOTE="Oldschool280, post: 1617607, member: 94521"] Great replies gang, yes i have checked the twist rate and it come’s in at 10.25”, i guess i would try one other brand of 180 or 190’s but all o my other rifles would shoot either sierra ,hornady or speer. As far as having many bullets laying around that i wouldn’t be able to use, not a problem as i have an 06’ that will shoot anything. This rifle actually is a brit rifle, sporterized in europe. So not likely an 06’ rechambered, as the barrel is long and heavy without any other markings other than an import mark. I think im going to try the 212 eld-x’s and the accubonds’ in the 200 grain range. I was tickled to see a reply here regarding the same type action and cartridge with similar tastes, hesvy and light, not medium weight. That was what i needed to know. As far as thin barrels, i have a 7-08 mountain rifle that is a pencil and shoots all weights fantastic for two rounds, then it gets hot. I do get the whole premise on “it’s all part of the fun of reloading” but just don’t have the time right now to shoot every bullet in .308 to find that it likes none heavier than 165. So thanx again everybody, i will return after i shoot the long boys in this girl. [/QUOTE]
