[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 2122579, member: 83819"] Thanks for the info and articles. Very informative. I was originally planning a 24” barrel but looks like 22” might be the sweet spot in the tests. A little gained velocity going longer but at some point it will start diminishing my main goal is trying to keep the 150-165 grain bullets around 1900+ FPS at 400 yards so they can do their job. Because it is a CA rifle I need to use non lead projectiles. Ideally I would like 2000 fps at 400 yards but I’m not sure factory ammo can do that in a 308. Eventually when I start hand loading I might (maybe) be able to accomplish 2000 fps @ 400 yards but from what I have been reading but that is a BIG maybe. Will probably have to move up to the 300wm for velocities like that [/QUOTE]
