This is an area that I do not delve into much,, and need some advice from those that do.
Basic starting info,
Sako 75 Hunter
.308
When I googled it said the twist rate is ( 1 /11 )
When I counted the cleaning rod revolutions in my rifle I got ( 1 / 12 )
Apart from that difference, can anyone tell me how a 185gr projectile perform/behave coming out the spout ??
I usually only use 150 gr (factory)

Had a bit of a look around and I can't find this bullet anywhere, not even on Winchester's US site.
Does it say on the box who makes the bullet?

Yeah Mate,
Winchester,
Made in USA,
Made in USA Olin Corp.
I know you won't find em just sitting on the shelf in most Gun Shops,
But after a phone call to determine their supplier has them it's a simple matter of ordering them in.

Winchester made the cartridge, but they don't list the bullet as a component.

! in 11 will be fine.
If there is a better option,,,,,,,,, what would it be ?
You guys are making me have a re think.
So do I look for a 1 in 11 or is there something better ???
