Muzzle velocity 185gr 308

[Jase PTRC]

Hello im curios as to what a maximum realistic mv would be for a 30 inch barrel 11t shooting 185gr projectiles

Hi Jase
We run 30 inch 12 Twist and run at around 2800 FPS

Thanks Michael. I have finally got this rifle being built i have some berger 185's and was thinking of trying hornady 178 hpbt also.

No Probs
I haven't tried the hornady 178 gr . But I have run 168 gr ( PDIs ) and they shot very well..

I will be interested to see.

I chronoed my 175 load out of my 28" barrel using a Palma short throat chamber.
I repeatedly got between 4000 and 4025 fps

Strange thing was my mates literally just tested 223 loads on the same chrono before I jumped on and got normal readings.

At this point I have the fastest 308 in town.
I will list it for sale for $10000 if it reads the same on a different chrono

I am shooting 185gn Berger Juggs from a Maddco 26inch 1:10 Barrel at 2,713ft/sec. Using 44.6gns of AR2208, Winchester Cases.

Chronied just a couple of weeks ago.

Hope this helps.
