Think about it this way in the 250 Savage they dropped the bullet weight to 87gr to get 3000fps and that’s burning more powder from a longer barrel. I realize they were keeping pressures a little low but hey they still do on factory ammo. 
Pretty efficient little round.
Venatic,
I really did not mean to be complaining. You are right , it is a really efficient. I had read where some others had 2800 on the 100 grainers and mine just won't do it. But 2700 is plenty and the deer won't even notice it. I might have asked before but why did you decide to use the 85 grain BT? just curious! And thanks for all the data you have provided!
