You can't get 2000 fps with a 750 grain bullet out of a 2 3/4" case. If you could jam in enough powder the pressure would be so high that it would never pass proof.

I know of one fellow shooting 750 grain bullets out of his 650 rifle. He says it is accurate although at close range it is more likely to be just accurate enough.

My 750 grain only shoots at 1800fps while my 3" shoots at 2050.

Bye the way my 3" is a 10.5 lb. rifle and you are right, it is a real handful. Actually both hands full.

I would rather it was like that though than to pack an additional 4 lbs around in 100 degree heat.
