[QUOTE="Jim See, post: 1841172, member: 69519"] Whats your twist rate? If you guys want a long range 308 with the 168-175 class bullets you can get thru transonic transition with a faster than normal twist rate 1-8 or 1-9. i would use the 1-8 for short barrels and the 1-9 in long barrels. I say that because I have shot out to 1 mile with accuracy when you overspin that class of bullet. I shot this at a mile with 168 berger hybrids. If you look over the bottle cap in the first pic you can see some grain bins, that was the shooting location. If you go to 6mm benchrest/accurate shooter daily bulletin and search Jim See there is a full article on it. [/QUOTE]
