[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 652460, member: 1441"] I had the same problem with my 7mm-08, could not break the 2800fps mark, but then again it was only a 22" barrel. With Federal light magnum factory loads it got well over 2800, close to 3K if I remember correctly. I ended up rebarrelling the 708 to a 6.5-284, hich in terms of energy has no real gains, but because you are shoot a 6.5gn 140gn bullet, it has a much better BC and SD so you end up with better performance.
