The 3006 standard twist is 1:10 and the 308 1:12 the 06 can handle 250 grain projectiles and they are still loaded for big game overseas. Yet both seem best with the 150 to 175 grain range. People...

Go for the 1:12 which will handle 125 -150 grainers well. The heavier bullets are not needed where we are!

it will work fine..the worst it will do is make them more fragile as they will be spinning faster...but you can slow them down if thats too much of an issue.

I have the 16.5" version, I haven't tried 125gr but it's fine with 150s. The 16.5 doesn't have open sights, but if you chop the 20 I guess it won't either!

the noise is PART of the "thing" that your subconsious wants to avoid...ear plugs AND earmuffs makes huge difference,it seems to make even stout recoil diminish . I literally hated sighting in,even...
