We can also get handload 140gr pills going at 2450fps as well.10-4. I am a 6.8 shooter too.
The numbers I posted above are from my barrels. 1 is a Rock that I have had since 2006, the other is 1 of my 5R button barrels. Those loads are safe with CCI 450 and 41 primers and Lapua cases with the Amax loaded to 2.295" in my barrels. Those loads may not be safe in every barrel. I've been shooting some of them since 2007. They aren't piercing primers or rupturing cases or breaking bolts and I still get 10+ loads out of the cases so I know I'm ok loading and shooting those loads.
They may be too hot for some combinations.
