[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 930775, member: 29281"] 1. Bullet stabilization is related to length more so than weight so, the heaviest bullet you could stabilize would be a round nosed bullet. These days, the barrel twist needed will many times be printed on the box the bullets came in. An alternative would be to e-mail the manufacturer and/or look at their web site. All of the 308 Winchester's I've shot have had 1:10 twists for which 165 or 168 grain bullets have worked the best for me. 2. The lightest .308 caliber jacketed bullet available is probably in the 100 to 110 grain range. A light bullet is not, however, going to hit the same place as a heavier bullet and in my experience haven't been as accurate as heavier bullets. My advice would be to use cheaper bullets for target shooting that are in the same weight range you're using for hunting. [/QUOTE]
