    Good load data for AXIS barrels (308)? 168gr vs 155gr


    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.
