Velocity from Savage 10FCP HS 308

[Jdaniel343]

I just bought a Savage 10FCP HS in 308. What kind of velocities can I expect from this 24" barrel shooting 168gr SMK?
I have not recieved the rifle yet but want to do some ballistic calculations.
Thanks

2650-2750 fps is a good guesstimate for top range. Obviously, if you're somewhat retarded, you might get more.

I'm getting 2700 with Varget and CCI primers. It's pretty much my standard load for 168s with SMK's or Nosler CC's.
