CFE does very well in the velocity arena.
I did not spend any time or resources tweaking my CFE loads. I wanted to save my powder for my 223 loads. Unfortunately I am traveling to the other side of the globle for week so I don't have access to my load data or i would send it to you for your evaluation.

I reload for 2 .308's. One xcr tactical rem 700 and a tikka Varmint. With 168 gr bullets both had nodes at 42 gr and 43.7-44 gr. accuracy was so good at the 42 gr nose that I stopped there. Velocity was great too! 2650 in the rem. never crono'd the tikka. Will play a bit more with the higher node this summer. But with 42 gr IMR 4064, 168 Amax, 210m primers, remington brass, (Hornady brass did well too) and a coal of 2.810 I couldn't expect much more for accuracy out of a factory rifle.
