I am not going to judge, but know PERSONALLY I would want to stay at speeds similar to cases that are close in capacity. Having had a near mis-hap long ago for several reasons, I err on the side of caution.
I trust the brass......and yes Scenar I have Lapua for 260
Where their is a NEED for speed, there is always a way to safely achieve it, without worry IMHO.
What a bullet will do at 3,000 mv I cannot imagine it won't work at 2,700 mv at any sane range on game, with a few clicks more.
I'd be looking at 2750 on the high side for 140s in a 22-24" bbl, 2850 w/130s, and 2900 w/123s....just me, but I'd be very content...not knocking those who do something different, but we each must do what we feel is ...sensible.
Those speeds are based on what I know are realistic/safe in 55s and 260.
Jim - agree - the 120-130 is a perfect wt. IMHO for the 47, and likely the 260 also given the COL in an SA. Having shot a .15 or so group CtC w/my 260 and 123 SMK, there MUST be something about it
Oh, maybe I flinched right...as I was using only a 6x!
