Yep, just under 1000fps.

Re: 190's in 308
I've gotten them up to 2800 fps with N550 and over 2700 with RL-17.
But my current load is 42.3 gr. Varget in Lapua brass, seated to 2.775" (0.040" off the lands). Excellent groups and very temperature stable. Velocity is just over 2600 fps.

What rate of twist on your barrel Mr K?

Re: 190's in 308
running a 12 twist 2625fps, buddy runs a 21 inch 1:11 twist at 2550fps, both loads are more accurate than we'd admit on the internet, and both work at 1k yards at 1100 asl. Lowest temp thus far is about 40f so can't speak to DA effects but can say from very recent experience that 190's running 2500 from a 1:12 don't stabilize all that well.

Re: 190's in 308
Thanks,
I have 1 box each of 190 gr SMKs and Berger VLDs. Didn't want to "waste" them in 1:12" barrels as I have a couple 1:10" barreled 30 cals. They are sporter weighted 30-06 and .308 respectively so the true accuracy potential of these rounds may not be revealed in them.
I don't have a chronograph but will load some of these up in .308 ( for the 1:12) and see what results.
Thanks.

Re: 190's in 308
I've shot the 190 Sierra's from mine 1:10 twist and they are accurate.
I haven't chrono'd them yet.

Re: 190's in 308
i think with 43gr of rl15 using winchester brass mine was getting 2650fps and hitting very well.

Re: 190's in 308
2630'ish is right on the OBT node with powders of that burn rate (Varget, RL-15, IMR4064...). Anything around there should shoot very well.

Re: 190's in 308
my 25" 1:11 shoots submoa to 1k with them at 2625. Michael has witnessed. It is the sweet spot.

Re: 190's in 308
47.0gr of N550 in Hornady Match brass drives them at 2700fps quite accurately out of my 1-12" twist FN SPR.

I shoot a Savage 10FP LE2b and have shot the 190 SMKs with very accurate results. They are a heavy bullet, but the Savage's 1:10" twist can handle that weight, but there is a bit more of a thump in recoil with that heavier bullet.
I can't say that my 26" barrel has gotten them up some of the velocities quoted here, but I mostly shoot 100 yds, so I'm not looking at that last Nth degree in speed, either.
I've also found great accuracy shooting the 185gr Lapua Scenars and IIRC, I'm at about 2550 with them, which puts me a little 'less flat' out to 1k than some of the lighter bullets, like the 155 Scenars and/or the 175s.
