[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 202924, member: 2736"] Nonya I like velocity as much as the next guy but with all of the different calibers that are available there is no need to load over max loads. If I want more velocity than a saami max load for a .308 win then I would go to a 3006 or even a 300 mag. There was a time when all of these options were not available and guys like P O Ackley moved sholders and reduced taper to gain powder capacity and up the velocity. I have owned 1 rifle that was used for 1000yrd matchs that was over loaded by 3 to 4 grains of 4831 and it was deadly BUT the price I paid was not worth the problems I dealt with( blown primers, hard bolt lift,very short brass life,bolt face erosion ,etc. So be happy with what your 308 will do with out excessive pressures and if you need more just go with a larger round. 308's are very competitive at a 1000yrds with a 168gr MK. Velocity is like gas mileage there are claims and there are facts. Dont over load, get a bigger gun. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
