Out of a 20inch 30-30 carbine, 2250 to 2300 fps with 150 gr projectiles is not difficult. The difference between that and a 15 inch 308 is not worth worrying about.

Overall length of the 2 combos will be very similar.

ADI pistol data (15" barrel) suggests velocity of 2600-2680 fps should be viable with 155gn projectiles, I'll also experiment with some 130gn pills
Thats still a fair bit more whack than ye old 30-30, not that it matters as this isn't a long range rifle by any stretch.
