[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1529819, member: 86754"] Rich got back with me via email. He said a lot depended upon the magazine length of the rifle. At 3.450" or so with the 180 berger, he still thinks it would be over 3100fps. Wow. I'm thinking ( away from the safe, can't check) this Mod 70 FWT (80's model) is a lot shorter than optimum. It still seems to be all the speed one can get from a standard case in a 22" barrel. I don't "need" that kinda speed, but IF I got antsy to try it, I'd still do it, just for the experiment, ha. I'd just stick with the shorter Premium heavies for the extra "thump" on game, rather than the extra yardage. I currently have this rifle in 7x57 and loaded to 60K, hey, that's a lot of thump with a 160-175. But you never know.....:) [/QUOTE]
