Around 2700 ft/s doable with a 120gr pill and factory ammo was doing 2600 ft/s with a 129gr SST. If you want more speed, RL17 is something to look at which I will in the future.

    The 120gr pill out of a 16" 6.5CM barrel gives you literally the same ballistics as a 175gr pill coming out of a 22" 308 barrel within 1000m...
    Yeah....... but which one is gonna hit you harder?
