Hi! (sry for my poor english) So i just bought a brand new ssg04 .308 win with 23.6" barrel (four groove 1:10" RH twist) and its cant stabilize the factory lapua ammo (without supressor), with normal ammo its just shoot perfect. I tought the barrel maybe damaged or somthing and i gave it to a gunsmith and he said no problem with it. Someone plz tell me whats the problem? | ||

Is that subsonic ammo shooting a long bullet at low velocity? Longer the bullet, lower the velocity, the faster the twist needed. | |||

this is the bullet : .308 win Lapua FMJBT (Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail), 200gr, velocity 1066 fps - this is a factory lapua ammo so u think the barrel is the problem? too slow the twist? | |||

Steyr, yes, that would be my inclination. If you look at something like a .300 Blackout that is designed for shooting subsonic loads such as this they typically have a 1 in 7, or one in 8 twist | |||

Antelope sniper has this one nailed....possibly if one was to use a much shorter bullet in a subsonic you might see some success. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

A 200 grain boattail bullet is at the big end of what a 1:10 twist .308 barrel will stabilize at normal velocities. You'll probably have to back down to a more "normal" .308 bullet weight to make it stabilize at a subsonic velocity. Try a 165 to start. I don't have any load data for that. LWD | |||
