[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 338014, member: 1007"] With a 28-30" tube, yes. You may be limited to a couple of powders to do it with acceptable pressures. I have ran the 190 SMK and VLD's at 2750 with RL-15 but felt it was borderline hot. If I had a longer barrel and could reduce the load a grain or two it would be right there. I dont like running hot or near hot. With VV N-540 I am able to reach 2750 without any pressure trouble with room for more in my 26" 11x Hart. 2750 is where the accuracy is for my barrel. Add 2-3" and you would be at the 2800 mark. I know it sounds fast for a 308 winnie, but with the right barrel and powder combo it is actually quite real. I have heard good things about the 5C barrels in the velocity department. Whatever barrel and bullet you choose, work up in .5 grain increments till the bolt sticks just a wee tiny bit and back off a couple grains. As far as twist, an 11x will hande any of the 190's, the 200's and the 210/208's. Let us know what you decide and how it turns out. M [/QUOTE]
