[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 227294, member: 9705"] Jeremy: Don't see how you are going to be near 3000fps with a 180 Berger. Nosler lists top velocity in 284 with a 175 partition at 2714, 280AI at 2858, and 7mm WSM at 2951. You have more barrel but a slightly heavier bullet. Seems to me you will have very short case life at 3000fps. I've got a 7mm-08AI, true only a 23 inch barrel, but 3000fps with a 150 gn would be a very stiff load. More than I'd want to shoot unless this R17 is some magic potion. I think even the 168 Berger at 3000fps would be pretty hot. But you know what, that 168 Berger at any where near 3000fps is a pretty good long range load. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
