Doesn't take a lot of effort and no $$ to get an idea of what velocities might be possible. For example, a 10 minute search of Ammoguide.com and a little work with the embedded velocity estimator suggests that the 7.62x45 Wilson Tactical (http://ammoguide.com/?catid=867) might be a good starting point.
Scaling from their max load for a 110 gr bullet in a 16" barrel to a 52 grain Rem Accelerator gives these estimates:
Yes indeed, testing will be needed, but we can see that a tactically interesting package might give a very growth potential as our adversaries improve their protection levels.
And, lest we forget that we are on the 6.5 Grendel forum, we know that it will do as well or better!
