I realize 1600 fps is more than enough velocity. But I was looking fora bit more down range performance from the bullet. And those extra 200 fps help out a good bit at distances past 150. Tom.
Tom, this might give you some ideas about velocities...
Also, I do shoot 120 grains of T7-2f with the 300 grain bullets in my Knights and 110 grains in the TC Omega and Triumph. I am very comfortable with the 120 in the Knight and the results down range. I use the 300 grain bullets for hunting elk and the extra energy generated by the powder charge allows me more options when it comes to longer down range shots...
