I was getting 2700 FPS with the 199 hammer hunters and I am getting 3100 FPS with the 166 HH. With the longer bullets and the short throat, you will want more freebore and longer mag capacity if you want to maximize those longer heavier bullets. I ultimately conceded and shot the 166 because out to 800 yards I wasn't seeing a benefit at my velocities. I would expect you to get about 2800 from the 190 grain lead bullets. Just be aware of the freebore and build the rifle to accommodate the OAL you want with the bullet you want to shoot.</p></blockquote><p></p>
