9 twist is borderline for the 75 Amax; it might stabilize it, it might not. My M700P didn't. It's worth the price of a box of them to find out, as it spanks on say the 69 Sierra MK pretty good... which is a decent bullet and I've shot a ton of them, but the 75 Amax is way better.

9 twist is just plain annoying.


The CENTER will hold.

70 grain rdf with 25 grains RL 15 has been good for me. I am shooting a Savage 12fv cabelas special with Tupperware stock and nothing special done to it really. Insanded the barrel channel, bedded with jb weld and turned the trigger down. Currently they are moving at 3090 fps and at 200 yards I am getting groups at around .6-.7.

I tried 25.5 grains of rl 15 and was burning primers so backed it off. Velocity wasn't that much better but the load was quite a bit hotter.

These bullets surprise me with the accuracy and I am going to try it at 600 this weekend.

Take a look at the ASC AR-15 mags. They are powder coated stainless steel and will allow for seating out to 2.315" vs standard 2.250".

I have both 20rd versions and 30rd versions of these and have had no problems with them at all. Well, except when one fell out of the truck and got run over... blush

Shot the 70 grain rdf with rl 15 at 600 yards this weekend and held consistent 1/2 Moa groups out to 600 yards. Kind of surprising that a gun and scope I have a total of 750 bucks in.
