I bought a Ruger American 308, but it's just not what I'm looking for, so it's for sale. My plan for this rifle is to run it suppressed with a 18"-20" barrel. Because of the velocity loss, would I be better off with the '06?
It's not hard to get 2900-2950 in the .308 with a 24" barrel with the 155 and Varget. What that translates to in your particular barrel is hard to say. The real question is, how fast would it be going at 600 and will it open up at that velocity. They seem to open easier than a lot of other bullets at slower speeds, but hard to say if you can't narrow it down to a velocity at your max range.
