Yup. Hopefully only stitches. If you want 300WM performance then get a 300WM. Pushing the 308 to those pressures is asinine in my opinion. Also plan on 300WM barrel life.

Are these standard 308 loads? Or are you loading very long on a long action, single feeding, etc?
Short action Bumblebee, magazine length. These are loaded at 2.95" OAL.
I did that with 200.20x’s but used Winchester commercial brass and got pressure signs at 2650 from a 24” barrel. Accuracy came in at 2580 and was very usable until the temp dropped in the 30’s and I accepted that a 12” twist is not enough for this projectile.
