[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 3022194, member: 20355"] Mine's not built for speed. I'd guess with a 115, you wouldn't have much problem getting 3600+ with the right barrel. Maybe more, not sure. I started out with a 19" pipe and a suppressor. I kept everything around 3150 fps to be legal for steel matches, but as you can imagine, it was hard on barrels and wasn't very efficient. 5 round mags don't lend themselves well for 10-12 rounds under time constraints.

Similar speeds. 3175 but like...6gr less powder and I think it was around 1200 rounds or so before she gave up. Still one of my most accurate rifles. I mostly use it for LR targets and hunting now days....I have a lot of other cartridges that are better designed for matches...but this one has a special place in my heart.
