Looks interesting. Let us know how it works out.
Tank if you have an 11"-12" twist, you should give it a try. I think I am going to make it one of my pet loads.
Are you shooting them out of an AR or Bolt Gun ? I am looking for a go to bullet for my AR I thought about the 175 SMK or 168 A-MAX or 190 Berger Ahhh Choices ?
If you're stuck on Berger I'd start with the 190 VLD and move up to the 210. Running VV N550 and the 208 amax I'm getting 2600'sec with sub 1/4 MOA out of 2 different 308s. One 24"-12x and one 26"-11x. I get 2500 from the 24" and 2600 from the 26" barrel. I don't see much difference between the 208 and 210. The only reason I prefer the 208 is that they expand at lower velocities.
Are you experiencing any stability problems out of your rifle with the 1:12 twist?
In near zero temps at 725 yards they punch holes slightly less than perfect. In warmer temps its no problem. 12 is anything but optimum but it works for the most part. I know other guys that use it. As long as its not too cold and if there is any altitude involved they punch straight holes. Even in the the cold they're still very accurate at that distance.
