So with the 1:10 barrel twist on the AXIS, I've read that we can use heavier bullets with good accuracy.



I'm tempted to pick up some 168gr A-MAX bullets and once fired FC brass. 4064 or 4895 powder and 210GM primers.

My barrel is the 20" model, so, I am wondering if I shouldn't back down to the 155gr A-MAX instead.

Nearly all of my shooting will be at 200yds or less. So I am leaning towards the 155gr (A-MAX or Nosler CC)

Moved to the Ammo/Reloading section as there's no difference between Axis and Savage barrels. All made from the same stock on the same machines with the same reamers.

135gr SMK 155gr SMK for that range.
