I'd say a bit more speed is perfectly feasible in a Mauser 98 action like the Kurz, I run my Kurz 6.5x47 fairly warmish (by "Mauser" standards anyway) and I'd say you should get them to 2850 fps. If you send me your rifle and case capacity I'll tun some scenarios in GRT and Quickload for you.

Interesting. I have a 25-303 that i still havent sorted to shoot. BUT it is a 1-12. Pity it isnt 1-10
Got some of the 87gr's (super?) that were used in them back in the day but suspect they are way to light for bigger stuff.
They were meant to be very good on 'roo's and goats
