Can I get 3300 FPS with 95 gr VLD?

[rhouser]

I have a 243 AI (Ackley design reamer). 26" 5R Bartlein with a straight 9 twist. Can I get 3300 FPS with the Berger 95gr HVLD?

Anybody got a realistic velocity target for my new AI with the 95 HVLD?

Thanks in Advance.

I think you can do it with RL-17.

I got over 3400 fps with 95 Berger classic from a 24" 6mm-284 with RL-17.

Ok, Thanks AZShooter. You have a little more horsepower available, but, good to hear.

For anybody who is interested, I will have to do my workup using the berger 95 gr vld target (24427) because I can't find the hunting version right now. I will post an answer within the week. I will be using Lapua fire formed once fired brass, and will probably start with W760 (H414 equivalent). I have a lot of depth in my powder choices due to feeding my 300 Rum so I can slide slower if needed.

AZShooter, I will look at RL-17 as well as RL-22, so thanks for your reply

For the answer to "can a Berger 95 VLD can reach 3300 FPS in a 26" 1:9 5R Bartlein?", stay tuned.

thanks to all who make the forum great.
