Thread: Favourite .308 projectile

Will keep you posted....

What's the twist rate in the t3 barrel?
Also what sort of accuracy did you manage Brenick

Love the 150gn SSTs in my M305. Reasonably quick and enough downrange energy to do the job. Only issue with 30-06 is that it requires more powder to do the same job. Vietnamcam, 6.5 is my favotite calibre and I don't feel in the least bit gay. You're a nice looking boy though....

My old Parker Hale TX1200 had a 1 in 14 twist and it loved the 155 A-max whether for target or hunting!! ( it did like the berger 155 hunting but found the A-max expand more reliably on smaller game )




Having a play in Wales at 1017yds on a figure 11 target!!

All the best............

Very nice groups.
Is that New Radnor?

11:1 twist.
Have not shot it enough to establish a 'true' level of accuracy as the rifle has only done about 40 rounds yet. When I zeroed it I easily put 3 inside an inch at 100m.
It is also shooting 200gn Lapua subsonics well (1040fps) and stabilized them even below 900fps.
