Ruger # 1 Stainless 308 Winchester

Yes, the T/L version got plain based.
It shoots great..........Just can't hot rod it.
I shoot the plain base version out of my Tikka , 30-06 Springfield.
8.2 grs. of Amer. Select with a large pistol primer.
Will put three rounds in a ragged hole at 50 yards all day long.

Hello Ben
That is some good shooting right there!
Do you like that bullet design?
Been seriously think about one and was curious on your overall experience is with it?
From plain base to gas check velocity’s?
Thank you sir!

1-10" in 308 and 30-06 vs. 1-12" in 30/30 WCF. I always find it interesting that National Match M1A/M-14 barrels often employ a 1-11" twist.
That rifle and its users can darn sure SHOOT. Those groups are Matchking-grade. I have almost zero 308 time with castings, but a whole lot with 30-06. Most of my 30/30's best groups have come with bullets under 180 grains in weight. The 30-06 has done better with 180 grainers or heavier. Not a hard & fast rule, but generally that has been my experience.

Remington 700 .308 and others are 1 in11.25 or 1 in 12, way back when, some one at an armory ran a bunch of Springfield barrels with a 1 in 11 twist, turned out they shot better than the 1 in 10 , but no one dared to "buck' the system so it was never researched any further1 in 10 it was supposed to be so 1 in 10 it is .

I have shot the plain base bullet in my 30-30 Handi with guilt edge accuracy.
Speed was about 1,200 fps.
The gas check design can be run up to 2,000 fps.( Of course....... at 212 grs. not in a 30-30 )

Try as I might, the 03A3 couldn't get Hornady's 168-grain A-Max to perform as accurately as Sierra's 165-grain SBT. Then one day I finally saw and read the small lettering that said 12 twist.
There is something in my gene code that is anti-direction reading.
That 2-43 four-groove dated barrel, Sierra bullet, and a goodly amount of IMR 4831 out shoot my vision.

I've always wanted a stainless Ruger #1 in .308 or 7 x 57. Never been able to find one that didn't require a mortgage.
Nice Shooting !
