Hello to all,
i’m on the project to build a 308 condor.

i have access to some barrel  and i need your help concerning twist rate
12″, 10″, 14″ twist rate

my goal is to shoot as flat as possible i think make a try on the 135 gr bullet on Noe in the 1000 fps range
my gunsmith affirm be able take 300 fpe from a condor with 308 caliber (valve totally rebuild,4500 psi tank)
does make sense to you?

many thanks for your help

I would suggest the 14″ twist for bullets up to 135 gr…. I hope you are in contact with Doug Noble, his Condors are the BEST out there…. His valves are awesome….

The 135 gr. will work fine in a 12″ twist…. and you can probably use the 155 gr.BBT, but it will be slower, of course…. There will be lots of flat-based bullets that will work as well, even heavier than that….

I know fellow who has Sinner and I think it has 17.5″ twist on .308 and he use 154gr FT bullet and it shoots very well…

Shorter, lighter bullets will generally work, whereas ones too long for the twist rate will tumble…. You should always choose a twist rate based on the longest bullet you will use….
