Tough question for a North American, as our reloading manuals artificially limit the velocity to a lower pressure out of deference to those who might want to hot load a 100-year-old action. I get just under 2800 fps from a 140g by judiciously exceeding the manual recommendations - but that's my rifle. I haven't exceeded the manual with the Scirocco II, though - sorry.

Have you seen this link in which Richard Mann tests the 6.5? He has some other bullet tests on that site as well.
