[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 669306, member: 48043"] I've only seen one 300 win that will come anywhere near that speed on a 180. That was a ruger #1 with a 26" barrel running compressed charges of retumbo. It bucked like a mule too. 3150 fps is about it with a 180 in 24-26" barrels. You might get another 100-150 fps at 30", but only if your powder is slow enough to take advantage of the length. You need to look at the book velocity as a speed limit also, and if you are significantly over on speed without a longer than usual barrel to add some of it, you are over pressure. [/QUOTE]
