The 7 Rem Mag spits them out about 3050-3100 depending on barrel length, 24" vs 26"and most STWs I have seen will move them at 3300 with a 26" Barrel so to get 3250 out of the Practical is pretty good. It is using quite a bit less powder than the STW and not a whole lot more than the Rem Mag. Now the Rum will move that at 3450, using 94 grains of Retumbo and a 26" tube, so like I say if its all about blazing speed the RUM is the answer. That said, I might just have to look into one of those Practicals if for no other reason than to see what I can get it to do.

They were both running 26" barrels with muzzle breaks. The Yukon was on a Winchester with an RKS barrel, and the STW was in a sako 75.
Sure do miss that Winchester, just had to free up some funds and safe room....
