[QUOTE="SavageShtr, post: 734704, member: 15118"] I used the 155 Lapua's out of a 10 twist and haven't tried them in my 12 twist. I quit using them for everyone that I talked to about them said the jackets are too thick and wouldn't open up on game. I can't remember for sure but I think they shot good out of my factory savage rifle. If you could get them shooting good they would probably make a nice groundhog and coyotes bullet, but I would shy away from using them on deer.. I think the 308 is a very easy round to load for just about and just about any bullet powder combo would work as long as you had the proper twist. As far as speeds go you should be able to get around 3000 fps out of them but definitely get you in the 2900-2950 ballpark.. I hope this helps.. [/QUOTE]
