    Will it stabilise 208gr? They make the .308 nearly attractive.


    What's wrong with the Howa 6.5x55? It's sensible isn't it? 1:8" etc

    I would presume so being a 1:10 twist.

    I've read a few forum postings on the interweb about guys who can't get their Howa 6.5's to shoot. Excessive free bore apparently, which I thought is a given with a Swede. I'd probably buy one if I saw it, just to try it. Wish they would just get with the program and make a .260
    .22-250 everything likes this.

    If you run the numbers on 168,178,208 windage will be the same(or near enough not to matter) and they will all drop below 1600fps at about the same range 650y or there abouts. The wee case just cant push the big pills fast enough to take advantage of the bc.

    However if just wanting to plink steel further out than that then the heavy pills start to win.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
