[QUOTE="JC Hedj, post: 494480, member: 32927"] The man said he is " [B]shooting a .308 out of a remington 700 base with a 26" barrel having a 1 in 12 twist [/B]" 125 to 160 gr bullets usually shoot better in a 1 in 10 " twist. 170 to 200 grain bullets fare better with 1 in 12 " twists Also bullet length in increments of 10 / 1,000ths can offset any inconsistencies in 5 shot 100 yd groups. I have one rifle that prefers 2.827 " OAL and the other 2.850" , both barrels being 1 in 9 1/4 " twists. I am now breaking in a new 700 with a SHILEN 1 in 9 " twist I shoot 7MM-08 out to 1,000 yds using AMAX 162 gr ,Sierra Match King 160 gr and Berger 168 gr Boat Tail propelled by H 414 powder and Magnum primers.
