[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 30086, member: 1007"] Dan Conzo, If a 300 win was throated for a 200 grain bullet but had a 13 twist, would you rather use 200 gain bullets or 165's?? Absolutly quality components are important and gun smithing ect.. But all the quality in the world wont help you if you try to use bullets made for one twist in the wrong one. DB was asking what was optimum for each caliber. Years ago, the 308 was used mostly w/a 150 grain bullet. 150-168 just might be the most optimum, that doesent meen it has no LR capabilities. I know plenty of shooters that use 150's at LR w/a 7mm and 338 shooters that use 200's. DB wasent asking about which powder works best in a 24" tube vs a 30" tube. He didnt give a specific caliber/cartridge combo either. He mearly wanted to know if there is a most optimum bullet for each caliber. Hopefully the gunsmith in question wouldnt throat a 300 win mag for 200's that had a 13 twist If you throated a 300 for 190's in a 11 twist bbl, the 190 would be optimum for that particular rifle. What about in general?? Such as a factory rifle? [/QUOTE]
