I get around 2800 with the Nosler Ballistic tip and 4064. However this load shows pressure signs. I have a 22 inch barrel on the A-Bolt. The rifle has only had about 70 shots through it so far. I have no problem with the 2700+ velocity. If I can get a little more thats good but 2700 fps will bowl over a deer with no problem. I seldom load anything I have much over 2800-2850. Velocity much past that causes more meat damage than I like to see. I can load the 280 to near 3200 FPS with my 26 inch barrel and 140 grain Ballistic tips but I keep it down to about 2800. I have found that the Ballistic tips perform best for me at 2700- 2800 fps. I reload more to load down my rifles than to hype them up. Thanks for the replies. Have a good one!!! The 308 loaded with the 170 grain Flat Point made for the 30-30 does a hell of a job on critters loaded to about 2550 fps. Its kind of like a 30-30 Ultra Mag. For deer hunting I just load my 30-06 to about 2800 fps. It groups an inch or under with the 150 grain Sierra Pro-Hunter bullet. Thats about the perfect velocity for 200 yard shots with that bullet. The Pro-hunter is a little fragil at Velocities over 2900 fps.
