If I was bumping 2,950 with a 150 in a 24" tube or 2,750 with a 165, I'd feel like I was "there" with regards to top-end. The .308 doesn't need to run at absolute redline to be effective. I'm good with 2,850 and 150's in a 22" barrel, shooting H4895. Made about 2,880 in another 22" gun with 155 Scenar and RL15. Both shot well. I think that 155 Scenar offers a lot for a little.
