Velocities??...Ummmm....between U 'n Me.....my 6.5 Swede can push a 140 VLD Berger 2800fps with NO signs of pressure. This is using RL-22 and just a tad above the max. Now.....this is in a modern action Savage M-12 single shot action with a Shilen barrel. I would not (and I mean never) recommend going above the max for a military action. I also have a 100 year old Swede Mauser that shoots very accurately with mid-range loads...and I don't plan on increasing 'em.

However, if you decide to push your loads, do this in .5gr increments, and at the FIRST sign of pressure, stop and back off. And remember.....each rifle is different. There will be some that simply will not do this no matter what.
