The max velocity is 3022,I'm getting 3000 with a 22" barrel. Deduct 25 fps per inch. 3022-50= 2972 fps is what you get. Now 3000-2972=28 the difference is 28 fps.

How is that going to cause sticky bolts and cracked lugs?

3000-2850=150 fps seems to me that a 150 fps more with a 150 gr NP is a pretty good gain.
