Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by rifleshooter

The one we used to have in 243 was really fond of a max charge of IMR4831 or H4350 under a 100 grain Nosler partition. It accounted for a whole lot of deer in the hands of my wife and both daughters before they moved on to bigger calibers. Passed it on to a friend for his daughter, and he's ready to pass it back to me for my own granddaughter if she shows an interest. Just too good a ...

The 243 should be 1;10 twist and the 308 should be 1;12 twist.

I kinda wondered if you weren't talking about the 308 rather than the 243/6mm, but decided to post that anyway. Thanks for the clarification, though. Now here's a further complication. I've got an early manufacture pre-64 Model 70 Featherweight in 308, and it's 1:12! I have only a vague recollection, but IIRC that was Winchester's standard twist for those early Featherweights. The ...

I don't know when the 1-12" .308 caliber twist rate became a concern (problem?) but my '65 edition of the Weatherby catalog lists the .300 with a 1-12" rate (I know,even they eventually went to 1-10"). They also list the available .300 Weatherby ammo with 110,150,180,220 RN & FMJ Hornadys and 150,180,and 200 Noslers. Evidently 1-12 worked for them. I know when trying to decide what twist ...

Not sure about the 308 cuzz I've never owned one, but it's either 1:10 or 1:12 I bet. Either should stabilize bullets to 180.

I have a 660 mohawk without the rib in 243 Win with 1/10 and a 660 with the rib in 308 with a 1/12 twist rate. The 243 is my wife's wedding present. The 308 is a future brush gun. Both have really nice wood. Sincerely, Thomas
