[QUOTE="orch, post: 1234166, member: 35688"] Have you shot the load out to distance yet? That'd be the best way to verify your speed/drops if you have a place you can stretch things out.. 4000 fps is possible.... I've pushed 70gr blitz kings outta my 2506ai to 3950 with no pressure signs on a 27" barrel... Had lots of case capacity left.... Pretty sure I could have made over 4000 with it before pressure.... Not sure the bullets would hold together though... They were flying apart outta my old 2506ai barrel at 3900 (new barrel they make it out to 900 yards accurately in one piece)... As far as higher speed damaging the barrel....well, I'm on my second 25-06ai barrel.... More speed requires more pressure and makes more heat, barrel life will definetly be shorter than a reduced load... But what fun would that be? They make new barrels everyday, keep a gunsmith employed and have fun! Orch [/QUOTE]
