135gr Bergers in .308

Silver $$ Contributor
Thinking about trying some 135 Bergers in a .308 Win with a 1 in 12 twist. I know it is probably not optimum but is the 1 in 12 toooo tight for a 135? If anyone is using this combination, I would appreciate some help with the loads and hearing your thoughts.

Thanks!!
 
Thought I would give a range report on the 135 Bergers. Looks like 47gr of Varget is the load at least for my rifle. Shot a 4 shot 0.106" group with them while testing loads today. 44gr of IMR-4895 was also good at 0.173". All were 100yds, Lapua neck sized brass with a .334 bushing, Federal 210m primers, with an OAL of 2.882"
 
Looks hard to improve on, but i bet benchmark would give you better vel's before you run out of powder space...
