[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 223518, member: 9705"] Ron: Berger recommends an 11 twist for their 210. I don't know what Hornaday recommends for the 208 Amax. But unfortunately there aren't any/many really high bc 308 bullets like there are 7mm. At least there is nothing I know of from the major bullet makers that has the bc of the 7mm Berger 180 VLD. I'm hoping there will be soon. Right now there are Henson 180, 212, and 220. As I remember the 180 does fine in a 10 twist but not the 212. The 220 (bc~0.9) needs an 8 twist. I'm waiting to see if these bullets pan out. I don't think the current bullets that will work in an 11 twist do the 300 RUM justice. Run up what a 220 with 0.9 bc at 3000fps looks like on a ballistic program. Pretty impressive!! You could potentially get that from a 26 inch barrel and a gun below 10 lbs all up. That's what I'm hoping for. [/QUOTE]
