    Its a 1:10 twist and shoots 165gr best so was bought for reds mostly but as they say dead is dead. Just for the lighter faster projectiles , if the 308 was a slower twist and could shoot 130's accurately and abit faster then i would be using it for everything but a 243 to me anyway makes more sense shooting chamois, fallow and sika and also reds. Will eventually get into reloading and shooting something like accubonds at 3000ish fps versus 165grain doing 2500fps in the 308 is more appealing for lighter animals
    Kudu and 300wsm for life like this.
