Good information! I'm having a .308 Win built right now. Kelbly Atlas, Brux barrel cut to 16.5" / 1:9 twist, TriggerTech Diamond. Thanks from Kemah Texas

Just had Shaw built a 18in 1-8 308. Itll be at the FFL monday! And cant wait to finish it and test it out. But kinda all over about going 1-8 instead of 1-10. Hopping i can shoot normal supersonic out of it. Info on this is all over the board about 1-8 twist like so many have no clue about it. Was a Kaugar VPR action, Shaw barrel combo.

I try not to listen to anyone that is spouting the next and best anything. They are usually wrong. Nothing wrong with 1-10 for anything from 130s to 210s.

So what you're saying is a 10k foot ladder will make my .308 more deadly

[@sortoftactical]

100%. Just check with your local OSHA guy...lol

@sort of tactical Will 175gr damage a 1/12twist .308 barrel ?

[@sortoftactical]

Not at all. BUT, do not think that all bullets will do well in all barrels. Your rifle may not like the particular 175 bullet you use. This will look like poor accuracy. Many people shoot 175s out of a 1/12 barrel. No issues. Keep in mind, bullets are made of metals that are softer than the barrel. At most the bullet will leave residue of copper and lead.

[@Zorro408]

Is a 308 win with 180 gr good for training and hunting ?

[@sortoftactical]

I think is. Pick a good, reputable, hunting bullet and you will have no issues. 180 grain can cost more so I would normally stick to 168 for both so the training and hunting ammo is similar.

[@Zorro408]

@@sortoftactical thank you for this information s&b (sellier& bellot) ammo is way the cheapest i found 50 pc for 60 euro all other hunting ammo are 20 pc 100 euro .. the problem is s&b only have 180gr 🤣🥲 otherwise i would buy 168 like u said

[@sortoftactical]

@@Zorro408 thats not a bad price. I reload 100% of my ammo so I am out of touch with market values. Good luck to you. I hope it shoots well enough.

How so? Is it because you didn't understand? Everything I put on my videos I do. This isnt fictitious at all.
