Hello I have Savage Model 12 223 26 barrel not sure of the twist shoots the 69's and 75's really good doesn't like the 80's ,those sound like hot loads clogging the firing pin and primer frags...
I shoot the 208gr Amax in 1/12 308 barrels.
100 yards, 10 shots. Around .65" center-to-center.
1120 yards. Needed a couple windage adjustments to get on steel. The square in the middle is 5x5 inches.
MM, Still slinging the heavies I see! Great work on the topic and stretching the old workhorse out. Are you still shooting the 06 as well?
GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
Mark, yes still shooting the 30-06 too.
Some of the newer stuff looks fantastic, but I just don't have the desire to re-tool every time something new comes along.

A 12 twist 30 cal barrel should stabilize 180 gr just fine. The rule of thumb is you just want to stabilize the bullet but not over stabilize for smallest dispersion's. It should work on a 190 matchking bullet at least in warm weather. Shooting in the dead of winter may be a bit tricky.
I have a 13.8 twist barrel that loves 168s but not 173s.
So please clarify, you have a Rem700 LA that was rebarreled in 308? I was under the impression that was not a thang, wouldn't feed reliably. I ask because I have a newly gifted LA pre 64 action that I could custom build. Don't know if custom builds are still viable in pre 64's, or just buy what you want with new DD Delta 5, Tikka's or Bergara.
And I need a new rifle like a fish needs a bicycle. But that's not the point. A new 6.5 PRC couldn't suck.
