[QUOTE="257Tony, post: 1380783, member: 67337"] You should be able to get the 230 eldx to 3000 fps with the right load, my off the shelf Abolt shoots the 225 sst at 3008 with a stiff charge of rl19. 250's start to eat into case capacity, which could be remedied with a custom throat and longer mag box. I can get 250 partitions or gamekings to 2800, but bergers only to about 2680 because of mag length restrictions. I'd think a 26" barrel would be all you'd need, since you generally don't need the slowest burning powders in this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
