If I always planned on 500+ yard encounters then yeah, more speed would be OK, but i dont go lookin for a long shot, so I really think between 2800-3000 is a nice place to be with that bullet as a starting velocity.


Agree with every word. I basically went through the same thing with that exact cartridge, of which, I have 5 such chambered rifles.
