[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1818743, member: 97414"] I have one 308 with a custom barrel in 1: 10.25 twist that shoots the 165 to 200 grain'ers,,, the other 308 I'm selling came with the factory 1:10... I was kind of suprized that the slower twist rate on the custom barrel worked since most folks are into the 1:10 and faster... There are still some 1:12 twist rate 308 barrels out there,,, they seem to shoot the 150/ 168 gr bullets pretty nice,,, you can try a few different boxes of ammo to see what your rifle likes... Test the 180 grain'ers as you might be suprized... There was an old saying years ago,,, if your 308 Winchester is having issues shooting tight groups using the lead tipped 165 grain Sierra bullets,,, then something on the rifle or barrel """might""" be causing the problem... Thanks for the thread as I slowly up size my two 308 rifles for this year... Frugal on powder and fun to shoot,,, the 308 Winchester offers this... Cheers from the North [/QUOTE]
