I'm sure he could be in the 4000-4100 range with the 50's
and N-140,Varget,or Rel-15.If it was me and he has'nt ordered the barrel yet I think I'd go with a faster twist and shoot
some of the 75 V-Maxs.IMHO a 22BR would be fine if all you are gonna shoot is 50's or 55's but if your gonna go to the extent of making Dasher brass I'd want more payload.Keep us up to date on your friends project however he goes on it.
