i would start with not using a 308 if i didnt have to :)

Thanks for the journal article.

What kind of competitions, what rifle,.....



Up close (inside 300 yards) flat base bullets shoot better,
out past 500 yards, boat tail bullets shoot better due to lower drag, even if they have more yaw in the barrel than flat based bullets.
It also depends on what you think heavy is::
In 308 heavy is 190 gr and up, 175 is basically the standard for longer ranges, 168 for shorter ranges. {Hint: more guns can shoot 168s better than 715s}



For the price of a barrel, I recommend that you buy 500 rounds of ammo and shoot it all in preparation of the match.
Once you have completely shot out the first/factory barrel, then go put on a high quality barrel from a top quality barrel shop.

Competition will be benchrest.

And medium range shooting 300 to 600 meter.
The rifle I do have now is a Steyr Mannlicher SSG 69 P1.

Where have you been for the last 16 months?
