Most rem mags I've seen can barely get those speeds with the 162. I don't know what you mean by heaps more omphh I use 79 grains of 2225 to get 2920 with the 215 berger is that 4 or 5 more grains than the rem mag?.
It carries 1000lbs of energy out to 1400 odd yards too which is handy.
Not a climber pissing contest I've had both , both kill shit and both require you to turn the nob on top of your scope.
