[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 319022, member: 2736"] If your looking for something in .284 with bullet weights of 140 to 160grs the 7 WSM is hard to beat. If you want the largest .284 bullets (168, 175,190) range then I would recomend the 7 STW or the 7 RUM. And if you want to shoot 200+ grain bullets then I would recomend the 300 WM, 300 RUM or the 30/378 Weatherby. In my opinion the 300 WSM is to small to get the potential from the bigger .308 bullets but is great for the 160gr and down bullets, but the BCs are not as good as the same weight bullets in .284 dia. Look at the bullet weight you think you want to use and then decide based on the BC of the bullet in .284 and .308 and then look at the velocity you expect for that bullet and the cartridge that will get you there. Then choose the twist that is recommended for that bullet and velocity. I like 1 in 9 for all .284 bullets and 1 in 10 for all .308 bullets, this allows you to change bullet weights with out having twist problems. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
