Are all from a 20" barrel. And the preproduction loads at least are holding up to those promises.

The American mile rifle is a 24", and is intended to be 26-28" final barrel length.

The 156gr bergers are cooking at 2900fps from a barrel half a foot shorter than the American mile's final barrel.

sadly, extremely heavy 6.5 bullets like the 156gr EOL requires a faster twist rate to get the most beans.

But also, because the HPHV tech has yet to come to .308,

Part of the reason we don't see a lot of textile art is because, frankly, textiles tend to degrade over time - especially ones that had utility!
