Upping to 2500' DA allows it to be 1121fps at 1k (barely supersonic). The Alliant guide shows 2900fps+ is possible with RL15, but at around 49gr. OP - what brass are you using?
My initial testing with the 150 FMJ in this rifle has shown good nodes at 43.5 and 44.0 gr of TAC right around 2880-2900 fps. I have been using CAVIM brass, which is about the same weight as LC/WCC/FC (~175ish). I am not happy with this brass for this gun though and am going to switch to some WCC07 I have and also try RG4895 and RL15 loads. I did have some nice groups with 168 SMK / TAC at around 41.5gr. Not sure of MV though.
I'll try to post some more info when I get a chance to test the new loads. I'll try the range you mentioned with the 150 FMJs.
