[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 493206, member: 505"] With the 160 I think you could go 1-14. I think the 185 is the best choice and I would do a 1-12 with that one. I know it shoots realy well in my 1-12 twist barrels but I do not have any 1-14 twist 338 barrels to try for you. I am judging that on the fact the 185 is a long bullet per weight that is just short of the 225 AB and about the same shape. I am doing BC tests on the 185 later this year because I am convinced from shooting it quite a bit the BC is far greater than the .432 Barnes lists for it. In the 308 case I think it would be a great lightweight elk rifle for the ranges you are looking at. That bullet in the 338 winchester was proven deadly to 800 yards this year on my trips. I blew through a grizzly with it at 200 yards and took out the offside shoulder. The bear dropped in his tracks. I am confident with the 185 ttsx barnes and elk. I am shooting it 3100 fps in my 338 Gibbs with a 1-12 twist with excellent accuracy. [/QUOTE]
