I would think a good minimum to adhere to is 1800fps for RELIABLE expansion, except those bullets INTENDED for LR hunting. Berger are... -

There's a bunch of reviews on the ELMs on the YouTube space. Example: I can confirm a few things in a sec as well. I know a few guys on...

It was only a couple of years ago and they were new then. It was a hunting variety, not the varmint. It was a 6.5 Grendel at sub-100...

It will be very close to 100fps. You’ll start 1gr. higher in charge weight and possibly end up 2gr. higher.
