    That's from guys in the states loading them above book max. Think 140 grain projectiles doing 2850 fps from a 24 inch barrel.

    Is that with a manufacturer's published load?

    Superformance powder?

    I get 2820 from my 26” barrel with all the best bits...

    6mm is where it is at
    Warm Barrels!
