Maximum safe velocities for A-Max

[Hutch]

I can't find data online, so if anyone has a current Hornady manual, I'd like the maximum listed achievable velocities (and the barrel lengths they were developed) for the following:

.223 Rem - 75 grain A-Max
.308 Win - 155 grain A-Max
.308 Win - 178 grain A-Max

Thanks!

20" - 2,700, 22" -2,800, 22" -2,500.

Subtract 100 for 22" M1A.

Questions like this is why some of us spend our hard-earned money on reloading manuals. On-line data is often sadly lacking.

Hutch,

With the right powder (RL15 or Varget), you can safely reach 2750fps with the 178gr Amax in a 26" barrelled .308 bolt gun.

Don, that's the bullet, barrel length, caliber and powder (RL15) that I'm using so thanks for the tip.
