Default RE: barrel twists

I can't speak to the 7mm, but a 30/06 has generally a 1:10 twist and is accurate with a wide range of bullet weights
It seems to me that a .308 has a 1:12 twist and ismore accuratewith lighter bullets.
The slower (longer) the twist rate, the shorter the bullet will be stabilized.
