[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 2875076, member: 59526"] I wouldn’t be concerned with the twist. Being sufficiently fast is all that matters. My 308 has a 1/9 twist and shoots heavy and light bullets fine. Considering you are getting good groups with the 175 SMK I’d assume your loading technique is fine and your rifle just doesn’t like that bullet. I would just try other options. 169 smk, 175 berger, and 168 berger hybrid are all good options of trying to compete in Tac division. If you aren’t worried about any rules you can also try the 185 Berger juggernaut. You might buy some factory hornady and see how it shoots if you are dead set on this bullet. I’d investigate the G7 form factor first. I don’t think it’s particularly good [/QUOTE]
