Friends 225 eld load for his FTR rifle. Barrel was throated to seat bullet out farther. COAL of 3.148” 9 twist Bartlein 30”, 2530 fps. 500 yds is 1973 fps with 1945.1 ft-lbs. 1000 yds is 1511.6 fps with 1141.5 ft-lbs. turns the 308 into a 1000 yd big game gun. Not buying one like that off the shelf. But that’s the fun part of building your own gun to your specs. Sure gets expensive though.
