[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2702874, member: 10284"] Then you have it. Already have brass and dies and even bullets. I was just throwing some food for thought. I have a couple of 7-08's too. I don't think the 8.5 twist would hurt you at all, but for the capacity of a 308 based case, you really couldn't take advantage of it with any efficiency. Hornady recommends a 9.5 twist minimum for the 162's. With a 9 twist you could shoot up to a 180 VLD. I'd go with the 9 twist myself. Just remember that the heavier bullets require a longer throat to keep from eating powder capacity. So, you should plan that out as well. [/QUOTE]
