In other words, his pressure is likely well in excess of the 52 ksi SAAMI max for the Grendel.
Having said that, even 1900 - 2000 fps from that carbine would make it a fine game harvester.
I remember the 35 Remington would launch a 200gr round nose bullet at 2000fps and it was a fine deer cartridge.
