I've been thinking about how am I going to find data for short barreled 308 Win reloads.
I reload and shoot a 21" barreled T/C Contender carbine in 308 Bellm with 150gr bullets at 2620fps this is a cartridge that was designed specifically for T/C Contenders where 14" barrels are the norm these little single shot frames can not handle higher pressures like a bolt action can though.
I neck down 444 Marlin brass with 308 Win dies so basically it is a reduced velocity, longer neck, rimmed 308 Win.
Here is the link to the 308 Bellm reload data might help with these short barreled 308's yeah that's me in the picture with the 4x4 mule deer buck with my 21 Contender carbine.
I see he has IMR4350 data listed I was hoping to try RL17 so will use that data now remember these would be reduced loads for a bolt action 308 Win my 21" carbine loads are with IMR4064.

Saw one of these has arrived at a shop in Edmonton yesterday.
I'm a huge supporter of gun control... everyone should have a steady grip and good trigger discipline.
Got it roughly zeroed this morning while I was up the local mtn running my dogs.
I did not see any deer this morning but a grouse decided to possibly become the first animal in Canada shot with these little carbines.
Shot was 50 yards basically cut the legs/back off and gutted it the breasts are perfect condition still.
I'm really liking this little carbine only thing I do not like is the curved trigger the way it sits in the chassis says straighter trigger.

I am also interested as to how loud these units are. I checked one out at Cabelas yesterday and the action seemed a bit gritty. The magpul stock was also a b*tch to adjust. I really want to pick one up but would like to get some info on 100 yard groups before i commit.

Called Solely again, where I was just told that the RCMP still had not classified it, and they had not shipped to Canada. Learned a real lesson here.
Anyone know how much the 308 weighs? I'm having trouble finding that stat.
