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

    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

        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'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

                As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

                    My T3 with 1:11 twist loves SGK 150gr's and SMK 168gr with winchester 760.
