That email from Berry's conflicts with their web site which clearly says 1950 fps.
I guess a phone call is in order..I have 500 of these and at that speed It will shoot way high and probably not function the action....Charlie
Ok here is a link to their web site:
Berry's Manufacturing
Here they say NOT to exceed 1950 fps........

The seller on GB was confident of these working near this range. Said he could barely keep them in stock.
Beats me.........

Oh boy What now......Charlie...I'm going to shoot all mine and order rem or win.....
Checkout the other post on test firing.

I thought I better jump and correct a quote that was posted when a call was made to Angie at our office. 1200fps is correct for our pistol bullets, but the 110gr .308 RN carbine bullets have a lot more plating on them. You can push those bullets to 1950fps. A couple of years back we had a new core die made that produced a smaller core. After plating we run that thick plated bullet through a carbide final size die to get the .308 diameter. Please feel free to ask me any questions, I try to read all the threads that I can but if you can email me to join in I would be more than happy to join the thread.

Berry's MFG Bullets,
Thank you for adding this information about your 30. cal 308 diameter copper plated bullets.
Many of us have bought these to try out and looking forward to having good luck with them. But as you can see a few questions arose. The questions just happened to come up in two different postings. This one here that you've replied in and the other below.
Luckily a fellow member named emmagee1917 pretty well echoed your reply.
Here's the other you may want to look over also.....
