I had previously found that 46 grains of VARGET with GM210M primers in Federal Gold Match .308 WIN cases (OAL 2.800") was very accurate using home moly coated Hornady 168 grain and Sierra 175 grain bullets.
Shadows have killed attempts to get valid chronograph results for the 175gr load but we were able to get solid readings for the 168 gr load (2695.6fps with a 17.5 Sd out of a 20" tubed Savage 10FP).
Time doesn't look like it'll permit more attempts to chrono the 175gr load so we started to look at extrapolating. Everything is exactly the same except for the bullet so my thoughts are that the 175 load ought to have somewhat greater muzzle velocity, say around 2720 fps from the same rifle. Is my logic correct? Anyone have experience extrapolating like this?
