    2213 might give 2600fts if you can creep up to 45.5gn without seeing those pressure signs again.

    I'd use a 120gn or 123gn Amax and try to work up to 47gn. You might get as high as 2740fts with those
    *Lapua scenar 123gn would be right up there too if you can get them.

    I got the 123gr amaxs to 3k using a hefty load of H414 in my 20" barrel model 7 260 rem, grouped well too. Until i discovered my 123's sorted into two different groups (length of ogive to base) lost confidence in them after that.
