[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3448976, member: 24867"] I agree with [USER=40561]@adamsredlines[/USER], heavier bullet will help you with your specific barrel. Here's a quick breakdown. These aren't rules set in stone for the .308 by any means, but a useful guide to start with. [B].308[/B] 1:15 up to 150 grains 1:14 150 to 168 grains 1:12 168 to 170 grains 1:10 170 to 220 grains 1:8 220 grains or more During your testing, you might find a lighter bullet that shoots fantastic. If you do come across that, and your happy with your ballistics data, go with it! Part of the fun is load development (in my opinion). 1:10 is a faster twist rate for a .308, so something on the mid to heavier side will probably suit your rifle better. What are you loading for, hunting, long range, etc.? Now get to loading, shooting, and posting up chrono data and pics for us! [/QUOTE]
