With the exception of Hybrid V, Hodgdon lists 2800-2850 max with a 180gr bullet. And that's in a 24" barrel.
I bet the telemarketers and home shopping channel do well with you.
Over lunch I called Tim at Hornady Product Support and asked if the 3040fps was a mistake. He confirmed it.
Whether Hornady used a 20" or 24" barrel length really doesn't make much difference to me, although they claim 20". 2900fps would be fine which is still better than a 20" .30-06 can do. What I want is an iron-sighted carbine length rifle and for $499 the Ruger Hawkeye .300RCM fits the bill better than anything else I know of.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
