Did you shoot that .308 , 180gr load that you claim clocked 2740 through a chrono or read a brochure? To getr that kind of speed you would have to have at least a 24" barrel and most hunting rifles don't. Look I am a great fan of the .308 but you need to realize that the 2 ( .308,.3006 ) are practically speaking the same when shooting factory ammo. Now, if you load yourself the good old .3006 really shines. Stop reading brochures and buy yourself some loading gear.
What part of "that's the load I shoot" are you having trouble understanding. If my barrel wasn't 20" it would be right on the money.
I don't have to reload to shoot, be a good shooter or talk about my load. I shoot for a living. I don't have patience or time to reload. I'm more interested in performancefactory loads that I can keep on hand,are consisent and widely available. You people are reloading snobs. Reloading doesn't make you more qualified than me to compare cartridges and it certainly doesn't make you a better shooter.
By not answering my question which was " did you shoot that load through a chrono or just read a brochure" you just confirm to me that you did not and just parrot marketing brochure claims that are obtained with long pressure barrels in very controlled environments. And I never commented on wether or not you are a good shooter. Your whole demeanor and often incorrect advice and opinions here is getting old. I'm done with this.
