[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 771603, member: 59915"] Lol. It's got to have a good bore. My bore is dark and not very shiny. Looks pretty rough actually. But it has very strong rifling. The 308 and 7.62x54R are very similar in powder and bullet weight. I myself believe the 54R creates more pressure because of the tapered case. I'm getting around 2560 fps ( not exact without looking at my logbook) at 42.5 grains of Varget and the max load is 46.5 with a book speed of 2575. So at max load I'd prob be pushing 2700+ with this 26" barrel. Book list 43 grains at 2409 fps [/QUOTE]
