Great, I'm seeing the best 5 and 10 shot groups I've ever shot in any rifle. I used a throating reamer to push the throat back about .060" so I can seat the 208gr Amax to 2.980" and still feed from the 3" mag. The external ballistics are great for .308 Winchester (.648 BC and velocities in the 2600-2700 range) and I'm keeping them all under MOA at 100-300.

Re: Savage 10FCP McMillan

this rifle is 308 win?? and what are your result using 208 amax?? (is 1/10")?? Thanks and my compliments for your rifle!

Re: Savage 10FCP McMillan

Yes, it is .308 Winchester 1:10" twist. Here is the 208gr Amax/RL 17 .308 Winchester thread that gave me the idea.

Depending on barrel length velocity with this bullet in the 2650-2750 range is very doable and the accuracy is on par with any of the other premium .30 caliber bullets I've ever used.

Re: Savage 10FCP McMillan

thanks! My rifle is 1/11" and barrell si 24" ... you think that,in my rifle, 208 gr are appropriate? i use ever 175 sierra or 170 lapua D46 ...

Re: Savage 10FCP McMillan

1:11" may very well work, the author of that thread is using a 1:12" and the 208s are stable. I guess it could vary though depending on altitude, temperature, and initial velocity.
