This cartridge is just a pinch behind the 240 WBY in velocity when used in a long action to allow for seating the bullets out especially if you want to shoot the longer and heavier VLD's. Faster twist rates are a benefit here instead of the slower ones used with varmint weight bullets. There's a lot of powder here to be used for the heavier bullets and longer ranges.

Best.
