[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1473845, member: 10429"] I bought a marlin 308 heavy barrel 1-12 twist 26 inch length. I just wanted something to keep my practice up. At first it would not hold groups that well. I bedded the stock and it was night and day. My best worked up load went to shooting .5moa. Good enough for me. IMR4895 168 AMAX. I don't have my notes in front of me so I don't have the charge weight. Factory seating depth as the FGMM. Runs right at 2820 fps. Makes for a really good practice round to go our and chew up some rocks at 1000yrds. Its nice to know that I may have the potential to run the heavier 175 in it after reading this thread but for now the 168's seem to work just fine. Cool thread. Also I something wish I would of spent the extra money and bought a Remington. A 1/10 twist would also be nice. But it get the job done. [/QUOTE]
