Working on a new varmit barrel 308 win. in 700 Remington 1 in 12 twist. I had one of these guns 15 to 20 years ago never could get it to shoot. i felt the twist was to slow because standard barrel hunting rifles had 1 in 10 twist. I messed around and got rid of a beautiful rifle. Now Remington still making this lazy twist so it must have been my gun. My question is what bullet weight do you guys shoot with this twist?
Anything up to 180 should be OK. I've had several Husqvarna 1640s in 30-06 with 21" barrels. They were 1:12 and they all shot very well with 180-grain factory 30-06 loads, which have about the same velocity as 308 factory loads in those rifles.
