Well, I should tell you today that I have achieved an average 2894 fps from the 24" barrel using SRP Palma brass and the 175 gr BD2 bullet with 49.6 gr of LVR with no pressure signs. So that speed in a bullet of that weight with a BC higher than a 185gr Juggernaut Berger is definitely achievable, supporting my original contention that with the right components the 308 Win can muster the punch to kill Elk at 900 yds under the right conditions.Maybe I'm confused, in the first post you said the 150 BD at 3050 was your 900y elk gun, but now you're saying it's the 175 bd at a velocity you "think" is achievable? And this is the basis for saying it's better than 30-06?
The .308 is a great round, probably my favorite hunting round...but I guess I'm not sure what you're trying to prove/say.
