My experiance is with AR's so may not directly apply to a bolt gun shooter. I have the 68gr Hornady's leaving the barrel at 2860fps, from a 16". I have managed to get the 75gr equivalent moving at almost 2600fps with a book max load, I think in my AR I can push it harder, but it is already compressed. My friend uses the 60gr NBT's out of his 14.5" AR and has found it kills goats and deer like lighting. I'm going to try some too, mainly out of desperation to actually get projectiles to shoot. Also tried the 70gr Berger's, which go awesome at long range, never shot anything with them though.
