I'm shooting the 162AM with a 0.625G1/0.307G7 BC at 2735fps from a pair of SAAMI 7-08's. It's a fairly wicked combo that holds velocity just fine. The AI version would add 100 fps. 2700-2850 fps ain't no slouch You've gotta see it to believe how well that bullet plows through moose and elk...

The .260/140 and the 7-08/162 both drive to pretty darn close to 2750 fps. Neither is a bad place to be, so I'm not sure what all the chatter is about saying the 7-08 suffers in the velocity department with bullets of decent BC. A guy could even step down to a 150 like the LRAB or Scenar in the 7-08, if he was worried about velocity, and pick up another easy 100 fps while still maintaining a nice form factor.
