IMHO 200fps without pressure signs is significant. 7/08 to .280; '06 to .300 etc. I've been bitching about all these new bullshit rds for years. The case may be a source of contention. I ASSume it's a copy of the soon to be defunct .224 Valkyrie and 7mm Win Western(er?):

Thanks svnmag I saved that video. However I'm a bolt guy I guess . Below is one of about a dozen or more that I have for my 308s. WIith CFE223 and a 200gr ELD-X I get 2637 fps from a 22 inch Bartlien barrel and I got 2522 fps from an 18 inch I no longer have. Should have kept that rifle. Mostly I shoot the 178 gr and push it to 2700 fps.
Speed isnt my goal, accuracy is. I try to extend my range with the highest ballistic coefficient that shoots accurately. I think next I am going to try Hornady's aluminum tip in one of my 6.5s.

Well that didn't work. I'll try a screen shot.

2650 with 175 SMKs out of a 308 is damn near as American as apple pie. Don’t f with it!!

If they wanted to make something noteworthy; 155 scenars or Palmas and you’ll never look back. Old news though.

As plainsman stated, accuracy trumps speed. (As in whist, not our fearless leader…). For the most part, depending on your distance and environment.

Watched about 1.345 seconds of the clip and was done.

That's cool PG. I'm also a bolt guy. No desire for an AR/K:

My point in posting was the lighter case material enabling a significantly hotter charge within SAAMI and available OTC. The weight reduction may assist troops with increased ammo count on their person, more horsepower/flatter trajectory than current 7.62 and '06 "like" trauma in CQB from a SBR.

I don't handload. I ASSume this case is using a fast powder as bbls longer than "18" seemed to indicate diminishing returns per the vid regarding weight and wield-ability.

I'd like a synopsis from a 24" bolt gun and more information about the case:

That is all.
