[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 905768, member: 12995"] If rebarreling a .308 Win, might as well squeeze all you can out of it. I'd go 24-26" Bartlein with 5R rifling, and an 11.25" twist in a Rem Varmint Contour (or heavier, like a Light Palma or Palma contour, if you prefer). That covers you all the way up to 210 Berger VLD's. If you plan on shooting 215 or 230 Berger Hybrids, you will need a 1:10 twist, as they have a longer bearing surface requiring a tighter twist. But then again, I don't know anything about guns...So, better not take my advice. :D [/QUOTE]
