Ballpark fps on my load?

[goldeneagle76]

I am heading out to buy a chrono on Monday but was wondering if anyone could possibly give me a ballpark speed (fps) for my load. 308, 44gr varget, 168 gr Amax loaded to mag length. Rifle is a DPMS LR308 with 24" bull barrel 1:10 twist.

I am going to the range before monday and am trying to get a ballpark fps to figure out bullet drop.

2720 fps

This right here. I got 2720 out of a rock creek 26" with 43.5g varget pushing the 175's. Give or take this would be my guess as well.

According to Quickload, you'll be getting 2696fps with 57,527psi pressure.

I am guessing 2700-2710, somewhere in there.

 

[MMAJunkie]

put me down for a guess at 2670

2670-2680 if you're using Lapua or Winchester brass with a non-magnum primer. Let's hear the results.

2699? Price is right anyone?

What brass?

Just wild ass guess--2683.

Shot couple different 168SMK loads Friday over my magnetospeed through a 20" LWRC. The FGMM factory was 2606 average and my handload of 42.5gr Varget in LC LR brass was 2564 average. Was testing 175's mostly, but had those two 168's to try.

Sorry, forgot brass. I am using LC LR brass. I'll post results once I get the chrono set up

I have the same gun using the same brass but with a 168 matchking,43 grains of varget getting 2650. I will go with tacticalboltknobs 2710.
