    Thats impressive performance. In my Tikka T3x with a 20" barrel a book max charge of Superformance gives me 2675. A 100fps less with a 2" longer barrel!!

    Greetings, More data will help. 2,850 fps is too hot for any projectile over 120 grain and plenty hot for those in a 16 inch barrel. Expect a velocity loss of around 150 fps for your barrel. 2,550...

    If you're close to a H&F or other shop that sells DPT gear, they sometimes have spare bushings available in different sizes. It's what I did when I needed a different size (and actually what DPT...

    For a 21" barrel at 55kpsi, ~2680fps is max. Gordon's Reloading Tool is great for getting a more personalised answer. The full barrel length is from the bolt face to the muzzle crown.

    I understand why you might be fixating on an arbitrary bullet speed in your Swede, I've done the same thing myself but ask yourself why you REALLY need 2700 v 2600 or even 2650. If you can get fit...

    I always zero at 100 as all my scopes are dial scopes, but if I had a capped turret I would be 1.5 inches high for a .223 and 3" high for a flat shooting caliber that's how we did it years ago. ...
