This was years ago in a browning A-Bolt and 130 Nosler BTips at around 3050fps.
We used to buy N160 for $112 per 1 or maybe 2Kg from Reloaders. It was a great powder I also used it in 25-06

I was playing around with a friends tikka 270 with 22” barrel using the 145eldx and 2209 these were the speeds I wrote down at the time. Measured with an old school chrony about 3m from muzzle. Loads look a little casual compared to what you are after but some info none the less.

Length 2.707” with hornady bullet comparator (27)

that is great info . easy for me to run through GRT and find where 2900/2950 is likely to be . thanks les

My load with the 145 gr ELDX is 57 grs Superformance, giving me just over 3000fps out of a Tikka T3 in a 21inch barrel. This load I consider max as the powder is temp sensitive and should the rounds warm up in a hot vehicle say they could be interesting. Treat with caution.
