I ran some Hornady 165 Interbonds that were mighty close to the 3250 mark back in the day with the IMR4831 in my old Ruger 300 Win Mag.
Cartridge : .300 Win. Mag.(W)
Bullet : .308, 165, Nosler AccuBond 55602
Useable Case Capaci: 83.029 grain H2O = 5.391 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 24.0 inch = 609.6 mm
Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 62000 psi, or 427 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !
11 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.

With 78.1grs of IMR4350 I got 3463FPS SD29 in a Ruger M77 rifle using 150gr PAR and BT.
With 73.5grs of Hybrid100 I got 3345FPS SD12 using 150gr Nosler BT bullets in the same rifle.

I use 78.0-79.0grs of IMR-7828 behind a 165gr bullet in several different 300WinMags. They all shoot very well but I don't have the velocities. Just know that one of my buddies has used that load and taken several deer at 600yds and a coyote at 800yds. He is using a big Zeiss with a calibrated elevation knob. Rick.

My question is: Why?? If you want 3400 fps from a 150 gr .308 bullet get a bigger case, like a .300 Weatherby?
If you want a screamer and a great bullet consider the 130 ttsx at 3530. This bullet will outperform 165 cup n core at these velocities.
I'd have to check my records but I believe the load was 85.0 7828ssc and was right on par w/ql predictions in my 25" tikka.
This gun has freebore and a different gun might hit this w/lower charges. It was very accurate at 200 yds.

kraky, at one time I had a 300RUM with a 28" barrel and a 300WinMag with a 30" bbl. Both of them gave 3500fps with a 165gr bullet, cup and core. Both killed deer from up close to 600yds without a problem. Really don't need a solid to kill deer. I prefer to shoot heavier bullets in the bigger 30 cals. rick.
I realize the bigger bullets w/higher BC stay in the air better.
I'm not sure what the OP wanted when he described "high performance" but speed seemed to be a component.
Where I sit for deer hunting my Max clear shot is about 350 yds. Its a logging road...by the time you see deer crossing you better assess the animal and get a shot off soon. A load like the 130 ttsx provides point blank "point and shoot" performance. Not that i really sit w/a 300 mag for deer but some may like a load like that....just put it out there for consideration.

125gr Ballistic tip will run 3500fps out of a 24" Ruger 300 win mag. H414/W760. Max load of H4350 will push a 150gr to 3300fps
