[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 508065, member: 24624"] It just depends on what they used for their test barrel. I run h4831sc in my Savage 12F with a 30 inch barrel and I get >300 fps more than they show for max load. I'm also about 1.2 gr over their max load with no signs of pressure. You'll probably loose about 50 fps for every inch you chop off. I'm just about finished building another 6.5x284 with a 24 inch barrel. I'm figuring on about 2750 fps tops. Anything thereabouts will be just fine for my purposes. Be safe and work up carefully from a minimum load. -- richard [/QUOTE]
