[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 43907, member: 704"] I have shot a couple of deer with a 1/8 twist and the heavy X bullets with a 223. I would however go with 308 if deer was my main target. If your like me the threaded barrel will make you want a suppressor Then you will want heavy bullets at subsonic velocities. I am building a custom 308 on a Remington action. I would have liked a 1/8 twist for bullets on the 230 to 240 gr to copy the 300 Whisper with my 308. A 240 gr bullet at 1080 fps has only slightly less muzzle energy than a 44 mag, but with the higher ballistic coefficient it will have much more energy at 100 yards. Many things to consider. [/QUOTE]
