Mine running a 162g Amax, suppressed 26” barrel.

@bigbear unsure of the brand of chrony i used, but 53 fps difference between our two results with the same set up seems ok ( to me anyway.) I've only shot on paper so far and been very happy with it so far. That is very pleasing to hear.
Mate personally I’d be taking full advantage of the benefits in having a magnum caliber.
Compare your chart with mine above and you’ll see what I mean.
Using this factory ammo will get you much closer. Something to think about down the track.

Cheers @Tui4Me that is definitely something to think about, will definitely consider it when I run out of the sako ammo
And what powder? Iv personally only seen RM speeds like that once and we actually.exceeded that to my surprise but intrested in the combo?Quote:

I still didn’t get pressure signs at 3200fps but it scared me to be honest and also my drop chart was no longer working so I backed it off
The 26” Bartlein barrel has now settled at 3150fps.
Because of dial up scopesQuote:

I wouldn't compare with that you have the fastest safe rem mag in existenceQuote:

Epic maybe that's the key to the rem mag presumably fast twist long match barrelsQuote:
