What speed should these be running with a 23" barrel?

I'm getting 2725 fps with great accuracy, but wondering if that's enough speed for best performance on game?

Used recently in Africa, got the job done but did not see the penetration I expected for a barnes.

Thanks

Just a guess....you should max-out at around 2800 to 2900. I’m running them in my AI @ 3130....and I should be around 200 fps faster than the H&H. memtb
