308 165gr bullets speed

[bullhead]

Am going to try 165 Speer Hot Core and 165 Accubond. Powders I have are RL15, imr4064,imr4350. In looking at Speer and Nosler books it seems out of a 22" barrel top speed is about 2650 fps. Is this what you guys read? Anybody else get more with other powders? Thanks

57 grains of IMR 4350 with a 165 grain bullet is my go-to load for the 06.

I'm getting 2850-2900 out of a 24" bbl. You should be able to hit 2800 easily.

2,900'/sec with 165 grain Barnes TTSXBT out of a Sako .308 Finnlight carbine with 20 1/4" match grade barrel using by the book hair under max load with AA2520 the Camp Perry powder made for the 308. Very accurate. sub MOA. 1/11 twist.

On principal I drop the load down to 2.850'/sec.

My friend has a Tika in 308 with 22" barrel. Best max velocity he can get with same powder is 2,775'/sec with longer barrel.

With my Belgium Browning 30-06 the best I can get out of my 22 inch barrel with 4064 is 2,750'/sec
