[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 105883, member: 2447"] One of my loading manuals lists the charge your friend is using as maximum in the .240 Weatherby , a case with considerably more capacity . I can't find a load anywhere for any 6mm cartridge that will give an 87 gn V Max the sort of velocity that you are talking about . Have tried several powders in my .243 AI with the 87 gn and find that 3350 is about all I can safely get in a 26 inch barrel . Add 100 FPS for the additional case capacity of the 6mm and maybe another 120 for the 30 inch barrel . Still a long way short of 3800 FPS . [/QUOTE]
