Mapping a potential build and bullet here...
Considering getting an AI AT .308 with 1:12 twist.
Also looking at pairing that with a ~175 gr all-purpose target/hunt bullet that I can (mostly) hit steel at up to 1087yd range. I don't compete, at least not now.
Couple questions:
For that bullet, I was eying the Barnes LRX 175 gr. JBM says that at 2600fps, that would go subsonic at 1200, which would be fine. Problem is, Barnes is listing that bullet for 1:11 twist or faster. Curious what your thoughts are on using that bullet in a 1:12 twist.
Alternately, do you have other recommendations for a target/hunt bullet?
