I wouldn't expect more than 2,800 fps with those powders. Probably good accuracy though. I don't fool around with going over book max. Check StaBall 6.5, if you want a little more speed. I've found pretty good accuracy with that powder as well.

I've been getting about 2870 fps and good accuracy with 44.0 grains of RL-16 and the 127 g LRX in a Weatherby Vanguard with a 24 inch barrel.
