[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 450769, member: 2736"] OK . I'm not going to argue with you about it because you can use anything you want to. "BUT" I competed for 12 years in the match game. and Loaded only two bullets for my 308 and they were the 165 GKHP and the 168 SMK and I even managed to win the 1000 yard matches several times and lots of 6,8and 900yard matches. I had a 40x Range master with a 27+inch barrel and It was very competitive as long as I loaded it hard. It had a 1 in 12 twist and would not shoot the heavy bullets at all. Other competitors recommended the 1 in 10 and when I built my custom that is what I built it in. I don't Like to boast but for the sake of this post I will mention that I have many match and class wins with this combination and even a few state wins in the NRA palma and National matches. So Maybe I am just lucky. I know there are new Bullets that could be better but I know what worked and have not changed my mind. You also said that some use a 155 gr ? why would a 155 work and not a 168? I still have my match rifle and it will still shoot sub 1/2 moa with Iron sights. As you know all rifles are different but as this post was about twist rates all of my 30 cal rifles are 1 in 10 and will perform with the best of them. So that is still my recommendation especially for the 308. Nuff Said: you may have the last word. Sorry we don't agree, but isn't that what makes the world go round. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
