Thread: wanting a 308 barrel

i am looking for a 308 caliber
1:8 twist blank barrel
has any one got one?

Shit thats a fast twist for 30 cal...you doing a Sub sonic rifle?

been told eather a 1:8th or a 1:10twist

1:10 in 308 will get you up to the heavy heavy pills 200gr +

1:12 to 168's approx

1:13 is used by the target boys that shoot the 155 palma match pills

1:8 is good to stabalize big pills going slow (suppressed loads)

to fast and it will scrub a lot of speed and wont work well with light pills

243, 264 1:8 is good

I'll have a Howa 308 barrel to sell in a couple weeks. I think they're 1:10 twist. Never been fired.

I have a 1:11 twist Sako varmint barrel sitting here in .308. Only 20" long though.

how much???
how long?
ss or chrome molly

Blued Chrome molly 22" about $200?

Leathel's on to it , and I mainly agree .

BUT , I find I have no problems with accuracy with a 1-12 for 175gr SMKs .
Also , I tend to lean towards a 1-7 twist for subsonic use , maybe thats just me .
I do howvever think the 1-11 is very good for the 175gr bullets .
In 300WM , I run 1-10 twists and use 208gr bullets .

Later Chris

I have a .308 sewer pipe you can have for free + shipping once I get my .243 pipe
