[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2068095, member: 10429"] It sounds like you dont reload but if you do a 308 with some 175 grain pills are really great at longer ranges. On the 308 get a 1/10 twist. The tiki won’t have a 1/10. Not sure about others. On the 708 I’m not sure but on both rifles I would get as long as barrel as I could find. I had a 308 that hand a 1/10 with a 26 inch barrel. It was a marlin. It shot the 168 Amax at 2800 FPS. This was a good consistent load for it. I never had an issue running the 168’s and 175’s out to 1000 yards. The 175’s ran about 2780. Not allot of difference. I traded it off for a 6.5 creed and wish I didn’t. The creed is just not giving me the velocity I thought it could produce unless you use RL 26 with 140s. I may try to get me a 260 or another 308 later on myself. [/QUOTE]
