Thread: 708 questions

OK owners of rifles using this round what sort of bullet weights and speeds do you get.
Yesterday a neighbor came to use my range to try out some new amo for this queen of calibres.
Curious as i dont know anyone else with one I tagged along and took the chrony.
He normally uses federal blue box 150 but had a few different 139s to try.
The rifles a Tikka t3 cut to 19 inches, the blue box chronied at 2450 fps, and both lots of the 139s at 2684 and 2680, he seemed pleased but I thought them pretty pedestrian, my m43 762x39 russian matches the blue box and my 308 pushes a 165 gr bullet faster than the 139 bullets he was trialling.
The results left me less than impressed with the 708, is this normal?
