Long Range - Short Barrel -Caliber

[Trogon]

Im running an 18inch 6.5-285 with a 156 berger and just barely getting over 2500fps at a max load. Sounds pretty wimpy, but thats still 700+ yards range at 1800fps limit. So I agree you would need to go up to a long action, drop bullet weight, or drop caliber to meet your 2950 fps criteria.

according to your statement, you’d like a 6.5 PRC necked up to a 7mm

...sometimes called a 7 PRCW.
