    Just to add a final fact, if you're going a tikka then consider that the .308 will only really take to the lighter projectiles. The 1/10 barrel twist isn't suitable for the heavier pills so you might as well go a swede.

    I am using 200gn subs in mine (308 win) with no problem.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    1:10 twist 30b is suitable for heavier pills. In 223 it wouldn't be.
