Does it matter? I've given you a speed to work with, but anyway it's 18".
The intended distance is as far as I can without fucking it up
Do you shoot 155 A-Max in a 308 Win?

No I don't shoot 155 gr A-Max in my 308s.
I'm at target shooter using a 32" 1:10 barrel firing 155 gr Lapua Scenar, 155 gr Berger Hybrid and 185 gr Berger Hybrid out to 1000 yards.

I do shoot 80 gr A-Max in my 223, out to 1000 yards (in light winds) out to 800 yards in stronger winds, 1:7 twist 26" barrel.

Advice that can be offered to you will depend on the configuration of your rifle.
I was asking so I could be more helpful.

I appreciate the offer to help and maybe I was less polite than I could have been.
I’m really wanting feedback on terminal performance as I would like to be certain that I’m going to kill deer size animal as effectively as possible.
I’m shit at finding downed animals at the best of times so the less they travel the better (plus it’s more humane).

No harm, no foul.
Plenty of interesting answers from others for you to consider.
