2850 fps running the 140 Amax, 26" barrel.
Around 2700 was all I could get out of the factory loads...no way they could have had 43 grns in them.

Short Action Customs did the work on mine. Used a Krieger, 26.3, Melonite treatment by MMI, factory 140 Amax is 2815 avg. I will check it again after 100 rounds or so, word is it will gain some speed once shot a bit.
