Thread: 1:7" twist 308 Who's running a ultra fast twist, super sonic and why ?

Not 30cal, but a 1:7" twist 22-250ai. Shoots everything from 50gr VMax up to 88gr ELD-M extremely well.

Also had one of the 1:8" twist Bergara 308's. It had a definite preference for heavier bullets. The best being the 208gr ELD-M but the recoil being a bit brutal. Settled on NBT's.

Also had a 1:7" twist Mini in 300blk briefly. Shot an assortment of loads from 110gr up to 220gr perfectly well.

I think the thing about having to match twist rate to bullet length/weight is overblown. It matters less and less with a decent barrel and decent bullets.
