Spinning off the 200gr 6.5 thread that resulted in a 124gr hammer Hunter 6.5 reaching the near 4k
What's the heaviest bullet and caliber to reach 4K FPS?

My 338 EDGE will send a 180gr Barnes TTSX with a compressed load 106gr of RL17 to 4000fps.
That is the most I have ever been able to get the 160gr TTSX I can get 4250fps.
This is with a 11.75 twist 34" barrel non mag primers, that rifles pet name is the Musket.LOL

That's crazy fast with a lot of weight sure beats my 50 gr. 220 swift 
Got ya beat lolThe GAU 80 (Out of the A-10 Warthog) sends 8 lb depleted uranium 30mm rounds at 4400fps... at a rate of 70 rounds per second!
Not what the OP is likely looking for but soo much more badass.
M829-A4 APFSDS-T munition 5100-5400 fps 120mm
100mm TA tip on a 700mm DUP low carbon + titanium main rod penetrator CF fins, ADL BiDi-Coms, 18lbs SCDB propellant 49lb cartridge of the M256 120mm main gun mounted on the M1A1/2 Defeats all current battlefield ERA/APS armor 4000M effective range
Then you have the slightly slower but likely most advanced tank munition
AMP XM1147 HEMP-T 4900fps 3000m range around 46lbs 120mm
Hopefully soon to have standard M designation in 2022. Hope to be at Yuma to see the latest testing & demo as they got rescheduled to later this year thanks to covid paranoia.
Very cool munition anti-material/personnel/bunk/air asset features, proximity/airburst det that can be used against both personnel and low alt air assets such as helos. Has DRCW bunk/building breaching ability. Its even compatible with all the NATO smooth bore 120s such as the L44/L55 as well as the guns mounted on the Israeli's Merkava III/IV tanks (which themselves have very inovative design choices vs traditional tanks.)
Sorry nothing but promo videos from the AUSA show so no cool stuff being blown up.
Which powder did you use for the 160 ttsx?
I used the same load as the 180s 106gr of RL17
It's a sharp short kick which is not bad at all, unlike sending a 300gr which hits you with all it's got and follows though.
the 160s and 180s are like jabs while the 300s which I send over 3000fps are like a Haymaker.LOL
