Velocity out of a factory 700P .308?

[mortarguy5611]

Hey guys. I have a question for you all. I am just curious as to what kind of velocity you are getting out of a factory 700P in .308 26 inch barrel using 175 FGMM or 175 Southwest ammo?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

It is obviously different from rifle to rifle but about ~2650 ft/sec give or take 20 ft/sec.

My stock 700P was also running about 2650fps with 175 Federal. Used that to set up my relosds, 44.5 Varget ran 2680fps into nice 1/2" groups.

I have shot 155's at 2900 fps out of a 700P before. Of course it was my ammo that I was shooting. Varget, Lapua brass, SIE 155's (2156).
