[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1015518, member: 83233"] Maybe I'm just using too fast a powder but those numbers seem optimistic in a 308 even when accounting for 4" less barrel. For the 168gr TTSX I'm running 56.5gr IMR4350, RP brass and WLRM primers, getting ~2800fps from my 22" 30-06. When I was running a charge ladder I went up towards 57.5+grs and was getting into the upper 2800s but the primers were flowing quite a bit. (Does the 175LRX have less bearing surface than the 168TTSX now that I think about it?) [/QUOTE]
