[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2919780, member: 120824"] SAAMI puts the 308 at 62kpsi. Especially with SRP brass, you should be able to safely bring that up to 65k, which isn't a lot more, but some. But the modern powders plus high BC changes is a lot downrange. When you look at what the OP is doing, you compare that with a single base powder and something like the old corlokt, you have hundreds of yards difference in effective range. Where you previously needed to step up to the -06, the 308 can now do it. Of course that can be said of almost anything not made in the last 15 years. The -06 does 1960's winmag stuff and the winmag rum stuff and so on. [/QUOTE]
