I believe the 168 grain .308 has a muzzle velocity of 2,650 fps but don't quote me on that cuz I've never been to sniper school. They might have the new 175 grain stuff over there but I don't know the velocity of that.

Thanks for the info. I had some fanciful idea that it would be over 3000 fps, but your figures probably make more sense. I think I'll go consult my back issues of American Rifleman and see if they've got anything in there. I'd also be curious to see a "distance vs. drop" graph for one of those rifles.
