First build need help with barrel
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2016 1:36 pm
Hello, I am new to this forum and the 450. Have plans on building a hunting gun for lower Michigan. I have a savage model 10 in 308 as a donor and ready to order my barrel. Planning on ordering from mcgowen just need help with length and twist. I plan on shooting factory ammo no hand loads. It seems like a lot of talk of 16" or 20" and 1:16 or 1:24. My question is has any one gone with a 18" and if so what loss is there to the 20" and I see mcgowen offers a 1:18 twist. With some saying 1:16 is to fast would 1:18 be better or should I stick with 1:24. Thanks.
