[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 1264427, member: 25760"] Had one built earlier by Bigngreen. 25 inch Bartlein fluted 3B with a LPA titanium action. With a March 2.5X25 it is under 9 lbs all up. Using RL 26 I'm right at 2900 fps with the Berger 180 hunting. Deadly bullet. 2 deer and a antelope this yr. Deer and antelope both under 100 yds DRT. Last deer 325 yds and he went 20 yds . I'm at 4600 ft elevation or so. Sighting in temp was perhaps 70 degrees. Broz's generalization for many rifles is 25-50 fps per in of barrel. Some guys using 27-30 inch barrels are reaching 3000 fps. After using a Berger for a few yrs I'm happy at 2900. Less "splatter" affect at closer ranges. Still plenty of steam to be solid out over 700 yds. Faster is flatter and bucks the wind better. Just not better bullet preformance at close range IMO. Good luck. Bruce [/QUOTE]
