[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1213303, member: 12995"] Yep, with the Berger 185 VLD's, a 26" 1:12" twist barrel, and range-pickup (formed, of course) Rem '06 brass, I'm pushing it around the 2,900-3,000 fps MV range, I am still finalizing some load data, but so far it's substantial. Then again, since every rifle is different, my barrel could just be one of those random freaks that produces above-average velocities. I have a 1:12 twist and I'm at 500' elevation, so I really can't run anything heavier than a 190gr bullet. The 185's will still produce right around 1,500 fps & 950 lb.ft. of energy at 1,000 yards. So, at a grand, I'm putting down around the same numbers as a point-blank shot with full-house loads from a .357 Magnum with a 158gr bullet. I'd say that'll do. :cool: [/QUOTE]
