I'm pretty much over 700's but I've got a yen to put a low buck 308 together specifically to launch cast boolits at sub sonic velocities. In the world of subs stabile heavy projectiles are king in my opinion. My question; What is the fastest twist I can use with cast bullets without "stripping" the lead out in the grooves in the barrel? Opinions, practical suggestions,and wild-ass stories of pending mayhem are welcome. S.
