[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 536182, member: 12"] I would not go with a 13" twist for hunting though. 155s are for Palma and F class paper punching and that is ok if that is what you are wanting to do. The guys that do that are using very specific 13 twist barrels with what is called tight bores with 30-34" barrels. in the 308, go with a 1-11 twist which will shoot the 180-200 grain bullets much better. The berger 185 and the 175 AMAX are favorites in that range along with the 175 SMK Very good choices in barrels with all of them, Bartlien, Brux, Hart, Krieger, Broughton, Satern, Rock. It would max out the barrel length for hunting at 24". More importantly is the chamber used that will gives you a throat for bullets upt to 200 gr. You do not want it chambered with a Palma reamer for only the 155s for example. BH [/QUOTE]
