From that, I was "pretty sure" ~2000fps was going to be a sweet spot, sure seems to be so far. :-)
I think the CBA website might be one of the most used resources I have. The other (for jacketed) is the International Benchrest site.

Yep, I find that my most accurate loads in the .308 are 1800-2000fps. My go to load right now with the 210gn bullet is 1950. The bonus is that long bullet is good for 500yd ranges. It is a little too slow for 600yd.

I'll be starting at 1900fps with the 6BR and work up until the groups enlarge, then back off 100 or 200 fps.
