[QUOTE="kimba, post: 1058270, member: 85888"] my guess with a 24 inch barrel is about 3000 if you push it. I get 3500 using 100 grain amax in my bolt 260 which is a 24" criterion barrel. am getting 2800-2850 using the 140 . I did shoot the 129 sst at around 2900, but did not push it as was in a rush that first season to get the rifle set up for first hunt with it - it was a 26" shillen. Took a mule deer on a front chest shot and it did not move an inch. I just built a Grendel and am load deving it with a 24 inch bull and am getting 2750 with 100 and buddy that I bought barrel off was shooting the 123 amax ( duplicate to 123 sst) at 2600. I am going out in a bit to run a few down the tube and adjust the gas block. I think the 120 class is the way in Grendel due to case capacity and velocities, but the 130 or 140 is the bomb in a full 260 ar - or drop all the way to the 100 and shoot for 3300-3400fps. Might sell my bolt 260 to do a ar10 260 soon or 6.5 x 47 lapua as love those small primer pockets [/QUOTE]
