[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 87439, member: 1920"] DanC, I will also agree that a 1in 11 twist 5C Broughton barrel would be prefect.As far as barrel length,I would probably shoot for the 26" length,but feel that anywhere from 24-28 would be acceptable. Muzzle brakes~ I build a Holland quick discharge style brake without holes on the bottom and they work ecellant,no acuracy loss at all. If you gun is running in the 12 -14 lb range,I don't know that you would want a muzzle brake as a lot of competitions don't allow them,but if you do end up getting a muzzle brake get a fitted end cap at the same time to protect the threads on the barrel when your brake is off. Bullets and twist~ The 1 in 11 twist will handle from the 150's to the 190's without a problem. I feel it never hurts to put a little extra spin on a bullet..... unless the bullet can't handle it. As far as hurting your barrel from shooting the wrong bullet for twist rate,you do not need to worry about it(other than normal throat erosion) the only thing that will happen is a loss of accuracy in that round. FWIW, 308nate [/QUOTE]
