+1 rifle gas 308?

[Quietguy88]

As the title states, anyone spun a barrel this way? My burner barrel has about 4000 rounds on it and after the stack of m80 here is gone, I intend to swap. Looking at going from 18" 1:10 barrel with rifle gas to 20" 1:11 with a +1 gas. Thinking a sendero profile, use a .750" gasblock and keep the muzzle end light.

Just looking for insight, if anyone had decent results.

Running a 5x prism optic with m80 bdc. Looking to use the #2190 sierra bthp and keep similar trajectory. Engagements are no farther than 600. Optic gives a vague 700 stretch.

Notion is, would leave open door for swapping to a variable glass with precision reticle and loading some 168 or 175 matchkings for 600 to 1000 rangework.

Thank you.

I've haven't seen to many people run a +1 or +2 gas system on a .308 unless they have a 24" or longer barrel.

Your current 18" barrel with rifle length gas is about as good as it's going to get.

I have given that thought. It is handy and gives up little. However, I also wonder if the extra two inches with a slower twist may be the ticket.

Are they single point or broached?

No clue, I just pull triggers and don't worry about manufacturing methods.

That's probably true, but someone has to break away from the 'we've always done it this way' to advance our knowledge of what works and what the benefits may be.
