Both Elmer Keith and P.O. Ackley spoke of loads and using loads with 170 grain FN in them.....
at higher velocities than 2500.. it is also the bullet factory loaded in the 307 Win which was load at 2550 fps or so..
so the bullet is more than capable...
Federal is also loading it in their reduced load to compete with Rem's Managed Recoil product line...
for this application I'd be reaching for 4198 or RL 7 or RL 10..
