I'm with PK and Mapsjanhere, too. When you load the '06 to the pressure level of the Fed, then 180s are CHRONOGRAPHED at 2800 from 22". My 338-06 puts the Nosler 210 at 2810 in 22" because it's throated for 250s. I'm quite skeptical of a real world 200 Fed hitting 2750 in 22", since the 308 can barely hit 2600 with 180s.
