A good mate has recently bought a Ruger .308. Its a long range tactical thing that weighs a ton, and pretty sure they come with a short 18" barrel so he wants to try and squeeze a bit more velocity out of the short barrel.
So this is where Superformance comes in to the discussion .
Just wondering if anyone has had any earth shattering results with a powder/projectile combo out of a .308

Out of curiosity, what’s the intended use for the rifle?

Presumably as a long ranger/gong gun?

If yes, can he return the rifle for a refund?

Short barrel, low velocity combined with a ballistically ‘challenged’ calibre choice is a recipe for frustration. Superperformce, or any powder for that matter is not going to offset the handicaps already present.

Assuming of course that it is intended as a long ranger.
