I guess it likes 155gr steel match.

It's a 3 shot group but I am happy

Great shooting! Mine with its 18.5" barrel groups exactly the same with those bullets and mimics that pattern with 150gr White Tail cartridges.
 
velocity? My 18.7" scout will push 150gr Hornady factory ammo to 2650 fps, but handloads with H4895 & Barnes 150gr TTSX are 2790

Equals or betters the original .30-06 loads, but with a much better bullet. Could pretty much hunt anything in North America with that.

Not doubting my load specs, just curious what the 16.1" barrel makes for speeds. The 308 is quite efficient that is for sure!

Hodgdon shows 2650fps with a 15" pistol barrel and 150gr Ballistic Tip, so I bet your load would be pretty close to 2700fps. Impressive power and capability in such a compact rifle.
 
Had no crono. I really like this little compact blaster. Needs a better trigger and some QD sockets installed to be perfect
 
if those are 100 yds and 3 shots ... I would say that you have found the best shooting ruger ever built! well done!
