I have a 30-06 with a custom barrel with 1 in 12" twist. Supposedly it should stabilize 180 gr. bullets but all I can say based on shooting the rifle is, "It doesn't." However, it does a great job with the Nosler 165 gr. Accubond. I took a nice fat cow elk with the load a few years back. Average groups run about .75" when I do my part.

I recently picked up a Husqvarna 30-06 with 24" 1in 12" twist barrel. I haven't had a chance to take it out and shoot but I'll be checking out how it does with 180 gr. bullets.
