I noted one source showing 3080 fps for the 108 Berger. That beats the 243 Winchester unless one goes to a 28 inch barrel. The dasher has about 75% of the case capacity of the .243 Win, so the numbers are going to be more like the 2900 fps reported in other sources.

Even so, 2800 to 2900 fps with that long bullet will turn in some outstanding wind bucking!
you'd be surprised because other cartridges like the 6.5x47 will turn in the same numbers as a hot 260rem even with it's smaller case capacity. Sometimes you just get a fast barrel.
