I have a new Remington 700 AAC-SD .308 with 1:10 rifling and I was under the impression I wanted to be shooting 180 grain ammo so I'd been looking for that, it's harder to find in my area but available (Not as plentiful as lesser grains but)... anyway someone messaged me saying not to 'punish myself' shooting 180 gr, I would be fine with 147-etc. grain ammo... is that true, 180 gr hurts or something?

And anyone else out there with a 1:10 twist what do you like to shoot?

tyry.
