[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 932958, member: 28191"] We've measured BCs of lots of .308 bullets in the 150-155 grain range. Highest BC we've measured was .435, in spite of claims of much higher BCs. We've also failed to get anywhere near published velocities without excessive pressures. A rare .308 might actually push a bullet with a .500 BC at 2900 + FPS, but I doubt that you'll get anywhere near that with a factory Savage. A 155 grain bullet is more likely to give 2700 fps with a BC of .435. This is marginal at 1000 yards and far less promising than a 140 grain bullet (BC = 0.600) at 2900+ fps. [/QUOTE]
