The goal is 3,000 to keep me above 2000 fps at 500 yards. At sea level it puts me around 3050fps. I don't think I'll ever be hunting elk at sea level, but I consider it a built-in safety factor lol. Once I start load development we'll see where it lands once the barrel gets here and I start breaking it in. If I can work up a load faster than 3,000 fps avg. while not sacrificing accuracy or stability then I might play with it, but we'll see.you should be able to get 3000fps with 168's
H4350 should almost get you there.
Superformance will get you passed it.
I think i was at 3010fps with 178's and Superformance
