.308 with 1:10 twist bullet recommendation

[mobenzowner]

Not asking for reload data, but am asking for a bit of help in regards to a good heavy for caliber bullet to shoot out of a heavy barrel Remington 700 .308 with 1:10 twist aac-sd. I have a pretty decent load workup for 178 amax but thinking a bit heavier bullet might do a bit better in that twist barrel. Anyone recommend anything for me?

215 Berger or 208 Hornady ELDM. You should be able to land close about 2,400fps with either bullet from your 308. Have fun,be safe.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I really appreciate.

I've been shooting the Berger 210/215 in my .308 Win for years. It's not the fastest hotrod, but the long range ballistics are quite impressive compared next to the lighter 155-175 bullets.

I would go up in weight to either the 208 Hornaday or the 200 20X Berger. On electronic targets at 600 yards the 200 20x go thru the target 300 fps faster than a 175 smk. The 175 is starting out on the firing line 200 fps faster then the 200 20x. This opened my eyes wide. My 11 twist will be coming off my .308 ftr rifle and a 10 twist will be going on.

I'm loading Hornady 208's in a 20" Remington LTR at 2400 (got up to 2500 with no pressure). It is a very accurate load in my rifle and the long range capabilities are impressive.

215 Berger is an awesome choice from target to game for the 10 twist 308.

Thanks a bunch for all the advice. Actually bought some 208 grain Amax's here off the forum.
