[QUOTE="liltank, post: 555164, member: 13275"] A 1:12 is more than ample for the 150gn .308 bullet. I currently have 2 set ups that will shoot 150's easily. The first is a custom barrel in 1:12 that shoots 175's w/ great results. It has a stability factor of 1.59. If I bump the speed up a little the stability factor goes up. You can't shoot a .308 fast enough to tear apart a bullet. The other rifle is a 1:10 twist shooting 150's. The higher the spin the better the bullet will perform in stability, but also upon contacting game. It will work just fine. I wouldn't concern yourself with stability or too much twist in a .308 and 150 grain bullets. Just my .02 150's will shoot, just a matter of finding a good load. One thing I forgot to mention, the 1:10 that I have has produced .1-.2" groups using 110-135grn bullets. I haven't tried anything lighter in the 1:12 yet, because I wanted to shoot 175's specifically. I know that lighter bullets would work just fine. Tank [/QUOTE]
