    Heres the results from my 18in 308 sako. Its an aftermarket barrel if that makes any difference.
    These are over max so be careful etc etc. Shot over a labradar so speeds should be pretty accurate.

    Should also add that's with Lapua brass so its probably not showing up pressure signs as early since those speeds are cranking for a short barrel!

    That's a fast powder for such a heavy projectile in the 308. What was the load density like?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
