[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 361646, member: 1039"] [b]Re: .308 / Berger VLD's of differning weights[/b] Yeah... 3,000 fps ain't happening. Not with decent (safe) pressures and the barrel that I have anyway. That said- The Nosler manual lists some pretty interesting numbers for the heavier bullets. 50 grains of 4350 (compressed load btw) and a 180 gr bullet = 2,698 fps. The point of going to a larger bullet is to be able to carry lethal energy to a large target at much farther range than my "normal" hunting bullet is capable of (150 gr Sierra ProHunter). A quick trip to the Berger website will give a graphic representation for "why" I am investigating max loads with heavy bullets. At least now I have a starting point... [/QUOTE]
