[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2020746, member: 1951"] I wouldn’t build a 308 to shoot copper. I would want to launch at like 3300 fps so it will open at distance. Also remember twist. These are so long, I would speed up my twist. Something like 300prc/300 weatherby launching 165-180’s from a 26” barrel 1:9 twist maybe. They need like 2200fps to open up effectively at impact.
