Re: .308 ar muzzle velocities

My 18" is around 2500-2530, 20" I would expect 2550-2575 give or take for max.

2450 for mine.

Average 2690 with my 18inch shooting Lapua 155's. This same load is 2900 out of my 24inch bolt gun.

The only ones I've loaded so far are my Berger 155.5

Muzzle velocity is 2846
Load is 46.7 gr. VVN 150
Barrel 26" Sako TRG 22
Elevation 100 ft.
Chronograph Oehler 35P

Those are my lasers, soon I'll be starting with 175's.
