Anyone reloading 1:11.25 twist in 308

Postby Bearcatrp on Tue Sep 02, 2025 9:13 am

Picked up a Seekins HAVOK in 308. Twist is 1:11.25. My first time with this twist. Been researching online for the best bullet for 1000 yard shooting. tried last week using 178 ELD-M with poor results. During break in, I did shoot 168 Amax with great results but want a heavier bullet. Next trip out will try 178 ELD-X, 190 Nosler M and the load I have for my savage, 200 gr ELD-X. If your reloading for this twist, what did you find for best distant shooting?

Hello, I just got a new FTR .308 with a 1:10 twist (previous gun was 1:12). I am just starting to test with 185gr Juggernauts, 200.20x Bergers and some 208gr Hornady ELD-Ms.

I have been relying on the Berger twist rate calculator to determine what is the best for that barrel. Not sure how well the 1:11 will work with the heavier bullets.

Let me know how your experiments go.

Got to the range today. The 200 gr ELD-X is out along with the 178 ELD-X. For now, the 190 noslers match shows promise along with the 168 A-Max.
