[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 508997, member: 19988"] Bullet manufacture. Just find out what bullet you want to shoot and the company will give the the speed it takes for it to expand. Ive been told 1600 -1800fps for the 130grn Berger Vlds. The 30 cal rifles need to travel faster do to the sectional density is larger than the 264. The larger the density the faster the bullet needs to travel to expand. You can cheat the system if you use a bullet with a thin wall jacket.
