[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2847542, member: 94556"] The 150gr 308BD2 has the same G7 BC as the Berger 168 Hybrid and it can be pushed faster and penetrate better. No need for bimetal cases. I use 2950 fps from a 20” barrel but the fact is that it is possible to get 3025-3050 from the same barrel. I know that 2950 is safe in ambient temps in the 90s. I’m not that fixated on speed. The are very deep penetrators in game and as a result are excellent to use in quartering shots. With that bullet, I have seen 32” penetration in bear which died immediately. [/QUOTE]
