I have a JP Sauer sporter on a 98 with a 19" barrel thats been in the family quite a while. The barrel slugs .3565-.357. Grandpa's loads were 3031 that Chrono 2050 fps with today's IMR 3031 with 250gr Hornaday .358 bullets. Quite mild to shoot and has accounted for many whitails and a couple of moose and a black bear. I would think (scary) that a 200 gr bullet could be made to go 2500 without straining anything....providing a good 98 action, and using .358 Win starting data as a starting point.
