175 grain with 1:12 twist 308?

[Chrisvierling]

Has anyone tried to load a 175 grain bullet for a 308 with a 1:12 twist with success? If so what kind of groups were you getting with it?

 

[roninflag]

rem 700 with a krieger barrel , the groups would would be very very small.

What was your load data?

 

[Michael Eichele]

Any of the jacketed lead 175-180 grain variety do very well in 12x 308s.

Varget, 4064, RL15 and too many other powders to mention all do well.

If your 308 is worth it's weight in steel, they'll group very well.
