It's going to depend on your bbl twist……I'm using 98 gr Shock Hammers in one of my 25-06s at 3375 fps and it's Devestating!

Look up the hammer hunter load data thread on here. Should give you a good idea where to start. If you have a standard twist barrel you will be limited to lighter bullets. I was able to hit 4000+ fps with my 257 Wby and 92HH last weekend when load testing with a couple different powders. Good luck!
