[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1378150, member: 87243"] I'm getting 2525 fps from my 20" Savage with 215's using Lapua brass, br-2 primers and reloder 17, seated to 2.985" OAL, and have 3 loads on this brass so far. However, I wouldn't expect this from an average 20" 308. My 20" Remington pressured out at 2500 fps, giving me an ejector mark and stiff bolt lift, best accuracy and safe pressure was around 2440. This savage barrel, using the same components, didn't pressure out until 2570. I'll tell ya what though, that light rifle (under 8 lbs) pushing those 215's at 2525 without a brake sure lets ya know something is going on....and it is an awesome compact elk brush buster. [/QUOTE]
