125 grain .308 loads

[SOBRYDEL]

Has anyone loaded/shot any 125 grain bullets out of a Rem 700 with a 1/12 twist? If so, how did they work out?

I'm wanting to work up a load for coyotes and smaller game.

IMR 3031 from 36 to 42 worked real well in my 308. the 36 gn load with the Speer 125 TNT is like shooting a 7.62/39 powder puff load. Haven't pushed higher loads as I was trying to see how low I could go with this combo. It all shot fine.

Looking back through my notebook, I worked up this load about 14 years ago for my 700 PSS.

51.5 gr of Win 748
125 TNT
Lake City case
Fed GM210M primer

I fragged some ground squirrels with it to 350 yards.

125g Nosler Ballistic Tips with 48g Ramshot Tac.
No idea how fast they were going but had a 4 shot group at .477" / 100 yards during load development. Haven't tried them any further.
This was out of a Rem 700 AAC-SD 1/10 twist.

They were originally loaded for my Win Model 88 but never got around to testing them.
