[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2558991, member: 10429"] Still haven’t got out to test all the loads I made up. With my lowest starting charge {about mid way on the specified charge range} I have broken 2600fps actually like 2605 2608 2615. I still have about 3 more charge weights to shoot. I think just looking at my velocity hitting a flat spot it may be 2645ish on about 3 different charge weights. Having the magneto speed attached has made groups suffer and I was shooting from a different shooting rest I have never shot from so it just did not fit what I usually do but it gave me some data. I have a box of 210 Berger’s and some 210 LRAB that I can try also. I have not seen any 215 any where for some time now. But the 1/10 twist should stabilize them if I find them. I also will be adding a EC brake/tuner to the mix once I get a good load running for some more added fun hoping decreasing the group size even more. And if it all comes together then I think you could make a good solid argument that a 308 can be used for some long range killing. Like 1000yrd killing especially with the 215’s. Enough energy to do damage and pack a little punch. Also when time are scares you have the one case that I seen always on the shelves. Just have to have you on components. Powder, bullets, primers.
