[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1324345, member: 2736"] Q-1 = the standard twist rate for .30 caliber is 1 in 10, but for your purpose a 1 in 9 would be better for both types of shooting. 165 to 180 grain bullets are not considered heavy even in the 308. For hunting, the 165s would be the best choice to get the bullet velocity in to the performance range of the bullet for hunting. I would not recommend sub sonic bullet velocities for any game animal (Hogs don't count). Q-2= Fast twist barrels can be hard on bullet jackets and are not recommended for many bullets. Q-3= I don't think that a standard throat will be a problem with long seated bullets as long as they are not jammed against the lands and kept to sub sonic velocities. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
