45 super, is possible to get 1200 out of a 6 inch barrel, so you'd likely be at around 1400-1500+ with a 230gr bullet out of a 16 inch barrel. The 308 is a worthy idea, but a heck of a lot more work than buying 45 super cases from Mystic Precision (I know ArmCo used to sell 45-08 brass, maybe still does).
I'd certainly not recommend the practice of double charging bullseye, there's a lot of powders much better suited to the job. If choosing a powder to blow up a gun, bullseye would be my first choice. Looking for the highest velocity, I'd want the slowest powders that would fill the case, and burn while the bullet was still in barrel. Power Pistol, Blue Dot and H110 would be the first ones I'd look at.
I agree...45 super is the way to go. I tested the bbl today, shoots nice, chronied in at close to 800 fps with 230g bullet
