    Reasonable speed for 300 win mag?

    My mod 700 300 win mag (24”) barrel is firing the 180 grn Nosler BT at 2965 fps average. Grouping is excellent (.5 MOA) Seems a bit slow though. Is it, or is this about what I should expect?

    I was expecting it to chrono at 3,100.

    I’m using 75.5 grns R22.

    I use it out to about 500 yards, but would use it out to 700 yds if I really needed to. So maybe anything gained by a bit more speed will make such little difference I should be happy with what I have got?
