    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    FYI. 20" 300 saum 168 NBT 2,976fps. 150 Barnes 3,186fps (have settled on the Barnes and dropped .5 grn for 3150)
    Wonderfully accurate with both loads.

    2208 for 150. N550 for 168. You saw that its a SAUM and not a WSM, eh.
