[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 536238, member: 20409"] I cannot say much on what brand to get.but will say that a 10-12 twist will shoot just fine for ya.but most will say to go with a 10 twist for shooting 175-200gn bullets. now thats been said you can and will say it again,you can push a 200,208,and 210gn bullet from a 12 twist barrel even a 20 inch barrel.it just takes R17 or varget to do it.R17 gets more FPS than varget.most are getting 2400-2500 with varget and 2500-2700 with R17.for me 24-28 inch barrel would be the length to get.you will get the 200-210 bullets to run faster to reach 1000 yards better I think.it just takes a deap chamber to get the max charge to push the 200 or better bullets.for me I use 47.5gn of R17.a riend uses 50gn of R17.most who use varget use 43gn.and win brass is better for the 200 plus loads.it has more volume for the loads. you can even get the 155s or a 175 gn bullet to reach 1000 yards but the 200 or better just buck the went better for me. I can even say that the 308 can and will shoot to a 1000.a good friend has did well with his out that fare.it just takes time and effort.even a 223 can make it that fare.there is a write up on this site that say alot about a 223 getting to a 1000 really well. it just what you want and what you are really going to do with it.even how much time you are going to put into the whole nine yards.
