I run 140gr npt's to an easy 2800 fps in my hunting weight 6.5x55 Swede with RL-22 and 25" barrel, great combo, 160gr Woodleigh's run 3000 fps with RL-33 in a 26" barreled pre-64 264 WM, that said, and you may want to do the same, i went to midwayusa and ordered several boxes of 140gr Speer Grand Slams on the cheap, you can get them there or directly from Speer's website, thought was if Woodleigh never gets back up and going or i'm long ran out of their 160's, i'll happliy hunt all manner of light big game with those 140 Grand Slams at 3000 fps and live happily ever after.
We all have specialized cartridge/bullet/scoped rifle setups for large, small, dangerous, near or far, but imho a point and shoot rig to 400 long yards with 140's at 3K will get a lot done for me in a general game hunting rifle, good luck, it's a great and fun classic cartridge.
