[QUOTE="Yuktuk, post: 2881074, member: 121817"] FWIW, when I spoke to a tech at Barnes (about five years ago), he said the lighter weight versions (130 and 150 grain) of their 308 Winchester, VOR-TX line of ammo require more expansion velocity, than the heavier 168 grain variety. His approximate numbers were 1800 fps for the light weight bullets and 1500 fps for the 168 grain flavour. I repeat, this is in reference to the factory loaded, VOR-TX, 308 Winchester ammunition and not the hand load, bullet components. He further stated, that the VOR-TX, 168 grain, 308 Winchester loads utilize the VOR-TX Long Range bullets. Which is why the VOR-TX Long Range line does not include a 308 Winchester option. [/QUOTE]
