Looking at .308 options, especially those tested on this site: http://www.brassfetcher.com/
I have to be curious about this one: http://www.brassfetcher.com/110 grain Sierra Varminter.html
It sounds pretty great. But I'm wondering what the muzzle velocity was, and what the fragmenting range is. For instance, does it comply to the 2700fps rule too?

Cartridge : 110 grain Sierra Varminter HP (handloaded).
Firearm : Roller-delayed rifle with 18.0" barrel length.
Calibration : 8.7 ± 0.05cm and 587 ± 0.500 ft/sec impact velocity.
50 grains of H380 powder, CCI large rifle primer
11.0 ± 0.031" penetration recorded at deepest-penetrating fragment. Bullet nearly severed block into four pieces and exhibited very low recoil for a .308WIN cartridge, despite flattening-out of the primer (maximum load for the test rifle).
