Heavy bullets in .308 Win - 200 grains and up

Your twist would stabilize the 185 Juggernaut. That bullet and a REM 5R got me started in f class. Shot it at 600 and 1000. Not sure about terminal performance. Pretty sure you would need to make sure the tips are open, to be sure of expansion. They can be pushed pretty hard. I use Varget with them. And Lapua Palma brass.

I have some 180 Elites. While I've not killed anything with them, they don't seem to offer much if anything over the 175 VLDH that I am currently unhappy with.

For fun I ran all 3 bullets at velocities that should correlate with the pressure you are currently loaded to. Looks to me like both the 180 and 205 offer some improvement, almost the same improvement, at the 1000 yard mark. Both having higher retained velocity and energy that the 175 vld, and the 180 staying surprisingly close to the 205 due to its lower form factor.
