    I run a 7mm08 with 120bt and 44gn of 2206h out off a 16inch barrel with a suppressor gets me just short of 3000fps, Kills real fast.
    A similar loaded 308/125gn combo will probably work even better as i hear the 30 cal is slightly more forgiving of a short barrel.

    Disclaimer (think it may be a bit on the hot side) 🔥
