Getting 2850fps with 2209 and the 130 Berger in a 22" and it's not hot.Entirely enough velocity and shrapnelizing copper'n lead for most of our deer out to 400 or so. Working on a Fallow, Wallaby and gong load at the mo, with the 107 TMK at 3050fps with 2206H, I'll get it to 3100 and call it good. Going the opposite direction to everyone else!.
