[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 928424, member: 68226"] 3100 fps is achievable with a 3 groove r rifling barrel with hex coat on the bullet and barrel. It works better with nitride coating the barrel and hex coat the bullets with the 27 in tube. Again the shells have to be kept in the area that keeps them 98.6 degrees. Free bore has a lot to do with this also. One better have a trued bolt and tight neck. as well as the action be perfectly aligned with the bore of the tube. Only expect 2 to 3 loading out of these loads before the primer pockets go south. Norma brass is EXPENSIVE! 4500 feet in elevation. [/QUOTE]
