[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 77136, member: 1007"] Typicaly the 308 isnt that finiky. Most of the time it will like several bullets and several powders at a wide range of charges. There are exceptions to every rule. Typicaly, optimum barrel length and twist for a 308 is 24-26" and 11-13" twists. That doesnt meen any thing else doesnt work, just that there are ussualy optimum features for a given set up. If you have a load that works well, be happy with it. If it continues to bother you, try new powders and also differant 155's. 10 twist is quite fast for a 155 and 20" is quite short. You may have better luck with 175's, 178's, 190's and 200's and medium burning powders such as VARGET, RL-15, 4064 ect...For your 155 in the 20" tube you might want to try a slightly faster powder such as BENCHMARK or RL-12 or 4320. Hope that helps some. PS, the 155 SCENAR is exceptionaly long for a 155, it might be more ballanced in your twist. [/QUOTE]
