[QUOTE="DRock, post: 1867801, member: 109187"] I am shooting RL-16 with a 155grain bullet and 22" barrel and getting just over 3000fps. I was near 3100 fps and backed off as this is my primary hunting rifle and I wanted to stay away from max. I love RL-16 in 280AI- better velocity than other powders I tried and extremely temperature stable. I have a second 280AI that I shoot the 168 Berger hybrid hunter and h1000 gets me 2900fps in a 24" tube (Cooper Rifle). If you're looking in that 150grain bullet weight range-- look at those new Federal Terminal Ascent bullets. Best long-range hunting bullet design IMHO. Will hold together up close, has great bc, and opens up consistently at distance. [/QUOTE]
