For the 308 or any other caliber, each increase in muzzle velocity of 100 fps is only going to give about a 50 yard increase in range.
For BC if you increase it by 10% then you get a 10% increase in range. For a given cartridge both muzzle velocity and BC have practical limits on the amount you can increase them. One should keep in mind that BC is tied to sectional density and muzzle velocity is tied to weight.

What Litz has done is change the shape factor without sacrificing either BC nor sectional density and gained large increases in yardage out to whatever range the shooter and spotter have the skill to achieve with the equipment they have available.
