[QUOTE="TRG300WM, post: 531350, member: 34767"] 16" is a little short for max velocity out of the 308w, 18 to 20 inches is optimal with a 168 gr bullet and a heaver bullet would like a longer barrel. Competition user like barrels up to 32”. My chronographed load out of a 26” barrel 1in11 308w will shoot a 175gr SMK with 46.5 gr of H-4895 210GMM primer at an AV 2848 fps and ES of 22….. If you are interested here’s a link to BARREL LENGTH AND THE PRECISION RIFLE in particular they discuss the 308w. and why shorter barrels may often be better... the link has probably been posted before.
