Thread: 308 Twist rates v projectile weights ?

A 1:12" twist will handle bullets from 100 grs to 200 grs as the biggest animals we shoot are Deer bullets from a .308 really don't need to be heavier than 180 grs
you start losing velocity going over that weight, 150 to 165 is all that is needed, Begaras are pretty short I have one in .44 mag 16.5" even with a muzzle forward DPT
suppressor it is still the shortest rifle I own, With a 20" barrel the Begara is still 4 to 7 inch shorter than a bolt action why would you want to give up the velocity advantage
by whacking 3" off it, With 180 grain bullets a 22" barrel is only making 2500fps.
