[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 288721, member: 1007"] Real world velocities with the 190 and RE 15 for me has been 2657 from a 24" factory tube at max loads. From a 26" custom barrel, velocity has been higher than that. A bit above 2700. If you really want to get down and dirty with 190's at high velocity with safe pressures in the 308, look at Vihtivuorui N-540. You will be amazed. I have run them at over 2750. 2723 was the sweet spot. VV powder is much more expensive, but gives you very high velocity at good pressures with phenominal accuracy. As always, start low and work up in 0.5 grain increments. [/QUOTE]
