    A 1:12" twist will handle bullets from 100 grs to 200 grs as the biggest animals we shoot are Deer bullets from a .308 really don't need to be heavier than 180 grs you start losing velocity going...

    Go for the 1:12 which will handle 125 -150 grainers well. The heavier bullets are not needed where we are!

    viper For my style of hunting which is 80% stalking close on deer with the dog, high round count goat culling and preferably shooting heavy subs with a 300 blackout. The 308win is a stock standard...

    I would still go with the 16' 1:8 I bought for shooting suppressed bush hunting with the dog. But I also have a 23.5" 1:12

    Whats your plan how far and what animals are you targeting? I went out to the range this morning for a quick shot before the wind got up to much. Was using my 16” 308win with a 1:11 twist, 168gr...

    You've got it a bit backwards mate. The faster the twist, the heavier (longer) the bullets it will stabilise. The 1:8 twist is really fast - it'll have no problem at all stabilising 125gr (light,...

    I have no issues with a 1:7 12” barrel using 125 gr BT, TMK and SST. So a 1:8 should be fine.

    it will work fine..the worst it will do is make them more fragile as they will be spinning faster...but you can slow them down if thats too much of an issue.

    I have the 16.5" version, I haven't tried 125gr but it's fine with 150s. The 16.5 doesn't have open sights, but if you chop the 20 I guess it won't either!

    viper liked post by ebf On thread : Getting the most out of a 308.
    righto, so some "random" comments. You seem to have settled on a 26 inch barrel. Hopefully a 1:10 twist - that gives you a nice spread from 150gr all the way up to 230gr. The one suggestion...
