Why on earth 100 fps makes ANY diff at ANY reasonable distance is beyond me.
Yeah I know, I know, can't argue with you.
64.5gr RL25 gets me an average of 3110 FPS with good accuracy for the short period of time I have had the rifle.
Truthfully if that if where it ends up performing the best I will be fine with it
But you know the old saying, new toys mean you have to play a bit. A friend lent me some Retumbo to try, & I can get some US869 in 3 weeks at a local gun show, so we'll see if this build will go over 3200 FPS?
After I ran out of H870 which would drive a 140gr very accurately out of my last 264 WM @ 3240 FPS. It was a Shilen 1-8 (I believe?) 25.5" barrel. RL25 was my goto @ 64gr & 3090 FPS from a 140gr.
I'm like you, there are other more rounded calibers out there, but you need an excuse to have another one
