Hi all,
Forgive me in advance if this is a real stupid question ..
I've been thinking about getting a .308 for range use 600 -1000 yard stuff.
I don't have a huge budget , so I've been looking at the Savage FP10 range in .308 . I read a lot of very good reports on these rifles , especially since they went with the new accu-trigger. They have a 1-10 twist in ..308.

Here's were I get a bit lost ..
With all the reports I see praising their accuracy they tend to be shooting about 168gr bullets ..
Ok so far.
Then I'm surfing around some of the ammo sites and I see that the recommended twist rate for 168gr -180gr bullets is about 1 in 13 , and to match the 1 in 10 twist I'd have to be shootin around 220gr rounds.
