[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1698865, member: 69478"] For a .308, I would do a 10 twist. The shorter the barrel, and slower the velocities, the more twist you need to stabilize bullets. I would run 168-185s in the .308 and call it good. For the 7mm-08, I would do a 9 twist and shoot 160-168s in it. The 180 Berger Elite Hunter for the .308 has a BC of .576 and is an awesome mid weight .30cal bullet. If you go 7mm-08, I would try the 162gr ELDs or 168gr Berger VLDs. [/QUOTE]
