[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 279987, member: 10654"] I probably won't be shooting anything heavier than 175gr in the 308. Although it would make a good close range thumper. If I want to go heavier I would probably be better off shooting 338 cal or a faster 30 cal with heavier bullets, correct ? So, if I understand your response, 12x for 168gr, but would need to go 11.25 x for 175gr, which would require a custom barrel as I don't see a factory barrel with that twist ? So, if I buy a factory rifle 10x will work for 175gr , but the bullets might not go to sleep as quickly and be as acurate at say 500yards or less. Maybe, I am overthinking this ? Also, I am not familiar with[B] SF and the 1.1/ 1.5[/B] goals you referred to . Where can I read about what this is and how to determine optimal twist required for bullet design? [/QUOTE]
