The SAAMI pressure for the round is relatively low; dunno why, since it tends to be very consistent ballistically. A lot of reloaders push published loads another grain or so. (Others push it a LOT.)

I got around 3100 with the 120 Ballistic Tip with Hunter from the 26" barrel of my first Creedmoor, with fine accuracy. That was a factory Ruger barrel, not a custom with a minimum chamber or bore.


My 26" Ruger does the same, good accuracy and doesn't show signs of pressure. Mine gets better accuracy backed off to about 2900 FPS so that's what I shoot.
