That may be possible with an in-house powder blend, but it seems like quite a stretch with OTC powders. I had a 6.5x.270 WSM that reached 3140 when it pushed the 140's hard. Can't see that happening with this one at nominal pressures and maybe some magazine length limitations. Time will tell I guess.
