It seems the folks at Remington have put a barrel with a 1/12'' twist rate on their m700vls. The odd thing to me is that they have the same twist 1/12'' on their m700BDLs in .308, but their m700BDLS in .30-06' have a 1/10'' twist.
My questions are:
1. Can the 1/12'' twist stabalize a 150 or a 165 grain bullet properly at 200yards or is it specifically designed for say 125 grainers.
2. Why does Remington make their .308 barrels w/ a 1/12'' twist but their .30-06''
barrels w/ a 1/10'' when we are basically talking about the same type of ballistics w/ a 150 grain bullet?
I have a bad feeling my 150 grain bullets are looking like footballs thrown by Mark Malone as they fly downrange, rather than a tight Marino or Elway pass.
Thanks for any info.
