You have some researching to do.

Twist Rate Stability Calculator

Our newly updated Twist Rate Stability Calculator not only tells you what your SG is, but it also lets you know if you are reaching your optimized BC.

I put that 53gr v max in there and it says it’s stable (2.29) with a 1:8. However that doesn’t mean it’s maximum rpm hasn’t been exceeded

Do you have any bullets you’d recommend for this. Again I’m trying to take them to 4,000 fps

52gr hammer hunters can do it if you want a mono.

After further research and speaking with my local guy I plan to buy a tikka t3x lite stainless model in 22-250,308, or 6.5CM and order a preferred barrel. Do you have options that are more cost effective than this? 1400 bucks just for the rifle, not including a rail, rings, or scope. Sucks to just toss a new factory barrel. Anyways, kinda leaning on a strait fluted stainless 24inch barrel in 1:8. As far as bullets thinking about 55gr Barnes or a Hornady equivalent. From what I’ve read, that twist isn’t too fast. Barnes loads them in a 1:7 barrel and gets 3800fps. I do not have any idea what contour to use. I would like as close to a bull barrel I can get while still fitting in the t3x lite stock. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks again

If you already have a short action rifle with 308 bolt face just go with a prefit and a barrel vice to swap barrels.

I think you have to choose between varmint bullets and 4000fps and big game bullets and fast twist. I don’t think you’ll be able to achieve both

I agree with this or go in the middle. I like 77 smk’s and get them to one hole.
