Howdy all,
I had an old 11 twist barrel that i was going to give these a try in. I gave up on that barrel and sent it back... 1st time i have ever done that, and hopefully the last time.
In an extreme effort to get it right this go around i ordered a Kreiger barrel with a 1:12 twist for my AR-308.
It arrived today, and i was measuring bullet lengths, and distance to the lands on all of the bullets that i have on hand.
Going off memory (DON'T TRUST) the 175 grain SMK's are around 1.245 or so, and the new 169's are a touch over 1.3.
I think it will be close? But could work?
