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.

2650??? What do I win if I'm right?
2720 fps
I am going to the range before monday and am trying to get a ballpark fps to figure out bullet drop.
According to Quickload, you'll be getting 2696fps with 57,527psi pressure.
I am guessing 2700-2710, somewhere in there.
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.
