[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2386611, member: 68875"] Tough requirements to reach 3000fps with a 16" 2900-2950 is more realistic. It might be possible running a 6.5SS or 6.5SAUM hot. Maybe a 6.5Max or 6.5 Mega. I run my 20" w. 140s at 3035fps, but that is not a max load. I can get close to 3100, but brass doesn't last more than 3 firings. But even at 2900, a 140 is no slouch. Or you MIGHT get a 156 to 2750-2800. Run those numbers, and you might be impressed. [/QUOTE]
