[QUOTE="kraky, post: 167973, member: 180"] A couple of thoughts. You could probably work up to about 51 grains but maybe your accuracy won't be so good. Slower powders may give you a bit more velocity and I think you should be able to get about 3050 with the barrel. BUT when I compare the speeds of 2900 or 3100fps with a 300 yd zero on a ballistic program it says that there will be about a 54" drop at 600 yds vrs a 47" drop at the higher speed. I guess what I'm thinking is both drops are very significant and require you to really know your drop tables. To me either velocity requires you to know exactly what you are doing to make a good hit and the difference in velocity really won't help you be more accurate. To be accurate at that range you have to find a really accurate load and if you have more accuracy at 2900 you will make better hits than a less accurate load at 3100. I guess what I'm asking is why you think you need more speed to be more accurate?? [/QUOTE]
