1-10" twist should be able to handle 200 gr bullets without problems, I think. The challenge normally is the lack of case capacity. I have a box of 208gr A-Maxes but haven't tried them in my 308 yet. Probably will just save them for a future 30-06 or 300 WM build. My Savage 308 has a short throat. The 208 gr bullets would have to be seated quite deep into the cases.
