Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather twist rate.

[GlennGTR1]

The advertised twist rate for the Extreme Weather Model 70 is 1 in 12 a bit slower than the 1 in 10 I am used to in my Remington 700. I dont shoot bullets that weight more than 165 grains for hunting, often times opting for a more solid bullet in the 150 grain weight range and when hunting elk a 165 NP or Hornady Interbond. Will the 1 in 12 stabilize these projectiles and still give me good accuracy?

Depends. Is there a caliber involved here?

For a .30 caliber chambering like .308 Win. or 30-06 the 1:12 will be just fine.

Forgot that important detail. Its a 308 Winchester, heaviest bullet again would be 165 grains in weight.

It should handle it nicely.
