How do we get 2800 fps with a 140gr bullet in the Swede? Can it be done with a 22" barrel?
The fastest load on Hornady's website is 2700 even, and there's only one load at that speed. Everything else is in the 2400s to 2600s. I assume mine are going 25-hundred-something because that is what the book says. All I know is that the deer die, and if I put them in the "special" spots, they die instantly, as in STRAIGHT DOWN. I zero at 200 yards and aim where I want the bullet to land out to 225 or a bit more. What will 2800 fps gain me that I don't already have? Yes, I'm baiting.
