You should be able to get 3000+ fps out of a 22" barrel with 140 grainers no problem. I get 3120 with my favorite 140 grain load with a 23" barrel without pushing it. There is probably a little more there but I have been happy with that load.
Today I chronographed loads in my 22" barrelled A1 using 160gn Accubonds and 60gn of Rel 22 which is a half grain under the Nosler book Max load. It developed 2940fps which I thought rather useful in my Winchester Featherweight. John
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
