remington sps V 175grn

[pistolpacknpete]

which is the heaviest bullet that the sps v 1-12 twist will stabilize. i am using 168 bthp hornadys with good success to 600 but have been reading they are no good past 850-875. which ones will go beyong that? or do i need a faster twist to handle the heavier pills

175's should work also.

I shoot 175 SMK's out of the same rifle. Furthest I've reached is 1100 yds. with good consistency

The SPS-V will stabilize 208gr Amax

No they won't fit in the mag.

You will not have any problems with 175gr Sierras, 178gr Hornady Amax or BTHP.

sweet! thats what i wanted to know. i shoot hornadys for everything. which one is better the amax or bthp?

The 178gr BTHP is arguably the best .308 bullet going. It has a better BC than the 178 AMAX or 175 SMK.

Likewise I have not had any issues stabilizing 180smk’s, or the long 180 LBT VLD’s or 190 berger vlds in my varmint with a 12 twist.

175 Bergers or Sierras.
