My 60s FN bannered barreled action with a 24" barrel on a trim custom stock would do just fine theses days. All I have ever shot in it is 180 Light Magnum / Superformance @ about 2900 fps. It works.

When I was a young stud and the weight did not bother me, it was a GdII BAR. I still like that for a stand gun.
