[WILLLY]

Hello everybody,
Does anyone have experience for loading cal 308, barrel lenght 500 mm, twist 8 ", for hunting and target shooting. How I must load them? What kind of heavyest bullets is best to use? I use Vihtavouri powders!

A 1/8 twist .308 barrel is a very fast twist. Velocities are going to have to stay pretty low. Some of the lighter bullets might come apart spun that fast. I'd say 200+ grain bullets and I'm not sure what's available in that weight for hunting.
