    We use 24.7 gr 2208 in Norma cases with 80 gr Amax projectiles for a Savage Model 12 .233 26" barrel 1:7 twist.

    Chronographed at 2830 fps this load will shoot targets out to 900 yards and 1000 yards in lighter wind.
    Can struggle at 1000 yards in heavier winds.

    Why the focus on velocity, it's only one part of the equation.
