If the extra fps really mattered that much, I would go to a longer barrel of different calibre, trying to drive them any faster is getting away from their real strengths, great penetration at modest velocity giving modest recoil allowing the average shooter greater control over accuracy.

That's impressive Vol I was hoping to get between 2900 and 3000fps so may stick to the standard chamber although I gained 150fps with my 25-08IMP over the standard chamber.
