I think for the 100 Nosler's, I topped out at around 29-29.8 gr. This charge may vary based on what brass you use, they all differ as to internal useable volume. 2650-2700 for a 20" barrel.
And when I was trying the 110 chaos, believe I was getting 2575 with XBR out of an 18" barrel, but that was a max speed as I recall, definitely a warm load. Which is why we always say to start out low and work up... A bolt action like howa might get to 2600 +/- but it will be close or over 52000 saami (primarily set for gas guns).
You're of course looking for a good node and consistent accuracy, not just the max speed.
