[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1063978, member: 69478"] For your bullet choice a 1-12 twist would be optimum, but the other two mentioned will work well too. My Dad has been shooting .308s for over 30 years and he has always shot a 1-12 with a 168gr bullet. When Dad was on the Army shooting team, they shot 168s in their M1As with 1-12 twists because that's what they found stabilized that bullet the best. It worked better than a 1-10 and an 1-11.25 in their rifles that had 22" barrels like you have. My cousin's Remington 700 ADL .308 had a 1-10 twist and shot 168s like a dream as well, so really I think any of these twists will work for your purposes. [/QUOTE]
