Muzzle Velocity expectation from 24" .308 Model 10 barrel and Fed Prem SMK 168 ammo?

[acemisser]

I would guess 26 plus as well..If I had a battery for my chrony I could tell you....

I found out something that everyone told me was not possible.....I tried the 168 gr SMK in my 20 inch 1/10 remington
barrel with very poor accuracy...I use the same loading in my 30 inch 1/10 barre[ and it shoots very accurate....
Explain this...it has got to be the longer barrel is producing more MV and better stableliztion....

Not necessarily. There is likely enough MV from the shorter barrel to stabilize the bullet.

There are so many factors that go into the bullet/barrel/accuracy issue that it is simply better to anthromorphize your barrels and say that each barrel "likes" different combinations of bullets and powders.

This is why it is so hard to make sweeping generalizations in most cases as to what a generic accurate load will be for all barrels in a particular chambering.
