Need for speed- 110 vmax (16"-308)

[Nomad909]

Hey fellas,

I have a 16" (10 twist) 308 that I shoot suppressed for night time hunting. It's a badger 2013 with a Halo LR all in a manners done by gap, really cool gun that I won a while back.

I have alot of 110vmaxs and I'm wanting to shoot them as fast as possible (mainly because of trajectory) but I'm running into case fill issues. I've tried alot of powders (varget, 4895, 4064, xbr8208 ect..) so far the fastest I can get them is 3220 and it's still below any signs of pressure.

Anyone venture down this road and have and GOOD information?

Ps- I'm not worried about RPM and jacket failure, it'll be fine. I also have a wmlrf on it already, just trying to squeeze the most out of it for fun.

Thanks in advance!

Try 2000MR

H335, blc-2, CFE223. You are going to be able to fit more of a fine powder in there. I want to say h335 was one of the top velocity powders for 110s in a 308.

Some different options here . Not sure what real world speeds will be , maybe you would gain ..

Have you tried Hodgdons website to see what powders they have data for?

That was my thoughts exactly. Xbr8208 is real fine but not as fine as blc2 or h335. Truthfully with palma brass, idk if you can fit enough of any rifle powder in it to over pressure it.
