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

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
