9.5 gain twist to 8.75, left hand.
I think I’m up to 130 rounds or so. It should kick in after 200.

Looks like you’re all around it, but not quite there. Maybe a skosh more aggressive on the gain twist?9.5 gain twist to 8.75, left hand.

5R just a little easier to clean barrel due to shape of lands. Accuracy no diiferent than a good quality conventional rifling. I agree just a lot of hype. Several good barrel makers Douglas XX Prem is what I run on my MK 12 Mod 0 from Frank White at Compass. Bergara has some excellent barrels I prefer the No 5 weight on the Bergara Ridge .No, they are more accurate because they said so. 5R definitely was not a hyped marketing ploy to sell more stuff. This is the gun community, we are smarter than falling for these low iq tricks.
I don’t even clean my guns. Sooo…..5R just a little easier to clean barrel due to shape of lands. Accuracy no diiferent than a good quality conventional rifling. I agree just a lot of hype.

With all due respect, barrel brand, rifling, twist, chamber incl. throat, barrel length , etc.. Using 155/168/178 variants...... etc. should the least of your concerns in consistently hitting long range targets, especially with a .308.Terry, Just curious what your thoughts would be for the ideal barrel set up for a long range 308 based on your experience..... barrel brand, rifling, twist, chamber incl. throat, barrel length , etc..

I build a ton of .308s but my niche is a relatively narrow lane. Overall gun size and barrel length is usually limited. Same with almost all ammo being factory produced and mission specific.Appreciate the response and info. Didn’t know whether or not you had a recommendation based on your experience and what you thought would be best suited.
Thanks again!
A friend of mine shot hi´s Sako TRG barrel out, and hi bought a Shielen SM 1/10" twist barrel heavy varmint profile.Given a barrel length of 20" and only shooting bullet weights from 147 to 185 grain, what twist rate would be recommended? From the research I've done, it would seem that a twist rate of 1:11 or 1:12 would work best. Many recommend just going with 1:10 as the best "all around" twist rate. But for the bullet weights I would be shooting it seems that would be too fast of a twist rate?
Prince Harry could use a good beating...I like my guns to be pretty.
If it was about performance I’d buy something in a chassis and beat it like a red headed stepchild.
I think he is defined as a “red headed bastard”……words matter with royalty.Prince Harry could use a good beating...
