First I’m not much of a Carbine guy...However IMO the 308 W is probably the BEST cartridge for a carbine.
I had a Ruger 77 OG ( Original Gangster red pad) Ultra Light w/a 20” bll. Was a VERY good rifle and in handloads — I never bought or chronod factory ammo —
The 150s STILL were getting 2900 FPS & accurate.

If you liked the one U had, might be a good OP to get another.

Good Luck

ps: the 308’s smaller powder capacity does. NOT hurt the velocity - in appropriate powders. Don’t know if U handloads or not,
The slower burning powders still produce the best velocity.
