Those are close enough in bearing surface that either should work similarly with the 12-twist barrel.

FYI if you want reliable answers you may want to give the pertinent information in your question ie
Q: which projectile is more likely (it is yes/no not better/worse) to stabilize in a 1 in 10 .308 -- 178 Amax or 175 SMK (someone's guess of which projectile is in the named cartridges may not be correct)
A: 175 SMK -- the A max is much closer to the margin where it may not stabilize -1.71 stability factor vs 1.46 stability factor
or to put it another way the 175 SMK will work - 178 Amax is likely to work

I dont have any problems with stability in my 12 twist SPSS with these 178HPBTs.

From 168 to 180 for out to 1000 and past. All work really well. I use 43 grain varget for 168 and 175 and 42.5 grain on the 180 gr. all SMK. They work very well for me. Bergers are great but they cost too damn much. If its factory the Federal Match king. They come with SMKs. And the M118L work very well.

178 Amax over 44.0 gr Varget in Lapua brass with fed 210M primers seated to 2.810" OAL works great out of my 700P

fuck george63, tone back the attitude. simple question, simple answer. dont get all butt hurt about how in depth the question is asked. you want to be an ass, how bout this, they asked 1-12, not 1-10 like you stated.
for an answer, not like a prude dickhole, have you given much thought about 155's? Telling you, they work well, and with far less drop. something for you to think about.
