Looking to build a 308 Win pistol with a barrel in the 12-14" range. Anyone have any velocity data on 168gr Match or DPX coming from such a short barrel? Any help would be appreciated
Range Report Super short .308 Win velocity

- Start date
I have a short 16" DPMS LR 308 that I barely get 2500fps with a 155 A-Max if that helps any.
Nosler reloading manual (fifth edition) has load data in the handgun section for 14" barrel.
Top loads with the 168 gr are between 2433-2484 fps.

Thank you MM! Should be good to go with that!
Ruag target factory ammo in 308w uses 168gr smk's, shot out of a 12 inch barrel from a semi-auto gave me 2290fps average muzzlevelocity at sealevel. Not fast, but sufficient enough out to 600m.
Wow! Very good to know....Thank you.
