My Tikka gets 3126 FPS with 51.5 gr Big Game, 120 BT, and WLRM. Under half inch groups. Work up to it.
P Pharm, my 22" No.1 only gets 3123 with than load. Worthless @#$% Rugers.  Work up to it for sure.

For sure work up to these loads. Some on here are pretty warm. Each rifle chamber and throat is different, as are types of primers, powder lots, brand of brass etc. As an example, in my 7mm-08, when loading the 120 gr BT in Lapua brass, I use a grain and a half less Big Game than I do when loading in Remington brass for the same velocity. Hope that makes sense.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

P Definitely work up. I'm getting almost that same velocity with only 50 grains of BG. 50.5 grains was too warm. +/-3200 fps and sticky bolt. Also I'm using 120 TTSX, so that is a little different. Previous rifle, I used 50.5 for 3150ish and it was no problem. Either way, the performance is great.

Definitely lower the charge with any monometal. P
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
