I am really wanting 3000fps out of a 20” tube with a 130-160 gr bullet. Would possibly step up to 22” but that would be the max. I don’t reload myself, but usually use Copper Creek or Hendershots to do load development and loading for me. I am thinking about a couple of options:
300wsm with a 150gr.
7 SAUM with a 140gr
Possibly the 6.8 Western with a 140-150.
Anybody run any of these out of a 20” tube? I know they will not be very efficient but not too concerned about that. Any other suggestions I should look at?
I know a 7-08/.308 probably makes the most sense here, but really wanting a little more horsepower.

Originally posted by trophy8 View PostRun ballistics on the difference in 2800 and 3000 FPS. The amount of barrel life loss pushing that hard to achieve that in a short barrel isn’t worth it in my opinion. I’m running a 24” prc and a 22” 6 creed. Both with a dead air nomad. I’m not hotrodding either of them. You’d be surprised how little difference there is. Now say comparing a 140 6.5 Berger at 2900 and a 180 284 Berger at 3075? Yes. Big gains .
Don’t get too wrapped up in the speed. It’s important. But not to the point of torching barrels right and left.
I agree on the 300 WSM and the 7 SAUM being what you seek.

Initially, 277 SIG FURY will be offered with the new 150-grain Nosler AccuBond projectile. It's a strong boattail bullet featuring a polymer tip, copper-alloy jacket with a lead-alloy core and a thick heel. They're getting 3,000 FPS from a 16-inch barrel and an additional 30 FPS for every additional inch of barrel.Jan 21, 2021
If it is ever avaiable.

I will reserve complete judgement until it’s actually released en masse but I don’t see this going mainstream.
I’d be surprised if any brass makers show any interest in making it for the reloader market. I don’t see it being cost effective to retool to make a hybrid steel/brass case for a single cartridge and a small market. Obviously somebody is making the cartridge but I would imagine it’s for millions of rounds for the government IF it even gets adopted.
