Mines a older 1/9 twist SS. I love it, it's my boat gun and often gets a bit of salt water on it but can't say I've noticed any rusting even when blood is left on it. It shoots 55-65gr bullets...

Do you have reloading set up, powder and components? ADI 2208 or 2206 are good choice in short bbl 308. As to how far you can realistically expect to shoot game animals, that comes down to skills...
