Bullet weight recommendation for Tikka t3 .308 with 1:11 twist.

[PAV]

Hi,
What do you think is the best bullet and powder I should use for reloading for is my hunting rifle. I usually shoot about 200 - 300 yards.

Thanks

What do you hunt?

[PAV]

Mostly pigs.

You can use Berger's 210 gr. VLD hunting bullet if you want.

210 VLD's will stabilize in a 1:11 twist?

Sg = 1.38 using the default atmospheric values of Litz's Java app and a mv of 2500 fps.

RIGHT on the edge...
More elevation helps though.

FOr hunting with a 308 with 1:11 twist I'd word up a load using 180 grn bullets.

I''ll make some 168 and 180 to test.
