i think the only person that can answer that will be the gun its self...i would feel any premium ammunition would perform pretty well in any well built rifle And some will perform better than others, none knows until he tries.... I've shot premium ammo in rifles only to be disappointed cause the cheap ammo shot better. Ole blue box Federal is great in my 308, and it's cheap.

Apologies for reviving such an old thread.
Not trying to re-open the debate about what twist should be offered, COAL, etc.
Mr. Wilson, I am considering ordering a NULA in .308 with the 20" barrel. Are there any specific ammo recommendations (or cautions) based on your testing with the default 1:11.25 twist?
Thank you. I have the exact gun, you described. Purchased it about the middle of deer season here in Texas. As far as I think, it is a great rifle. I reload using 155 gr Lehigh and running around 2700 fps. It will easily get you 1 inch groups if you are not the problem. I can and have shot 1/2 inch groups on a good day. I have not loaded any other weight bullet. BTW I am 78 YO, gun weight and size makes it easy for an old man to handle. Thanks Daniel

What is the weight of the optic you selected for your NULA? I am looking at glass that weighs 21.9oz.

RPM,COAL and Throat Geometry...are that which control ammo viability. Hint.
Just sayin'............. Big Stick, based on all the conversation in this thread and your knowledge of the above, is there a particular commercial ammunition you think would perform well in the NULA? Big Stick, No advice here? Seems like you wanted to give lots of hints. Any data or real world experience that would point toward specific cartridges that would perform well in the NULA? Didn't realize I was in charge of all The Whining CLUELESS Kchunts. My bad. Hint. There is Factory Fodder of repute,that's proven in a plethora of 308 Win platforms,with 175 FGMM in the cheap seats and Lapooey 155 Skinners for THE win. I muchly prefer Skinner terminal effects,concentricity,ES/SD and accuracy/precision. Hint. That being said,were I forced to slum same,it'd be in a Montucky,as the ergo's are superior. 308's a whole,suck ass and the 264 Kreedmire stomps them silly,with .697 BC's at 2700fps. Hint. Google as you must. Hint. Just sayin'...............

Wow, that’s a lot less than I would have expected.

They don’t seem to be selling. Is this poor observation or a correct one?

i think when you take the hand built part away and produce the assembly line version some of the luster rubs off...even if they are as good as the original

Add to that, I haven't seen advertisement for them anywhere, nor have I seen them on the shelf anywhere in ND/SD despite stopping in quite a few gun shops weekly. Somewhere back in the bowels of this thread is was mentioned (and I believe sale-page linked) that Mr. Wison purchased a Barrett Fieldcraft off of GunBroker. Hopefully he takes really good notes, and a Mulligan.

Take a Look at GB and see the rifles for sale, its just about a half dozen chambered for 6.5 manbuns. about a week ago there were maybe 6 or 8 Wilson NULA's listed chambered in .308 and now there is zero of these listed....I think they might sell pretty good.....Hb

Still have not seen the .308 20" 1:10 for sale anywhere. It was reviewed by G&A, so it should be a standard offering.
