I have a 1-7 twist 18" barrel shooting 55 grain vmax bullets. 26.5grains of Varget and only getting 2800 - 2850 fps.

What are some better powder choices? Or bullet? Built it for coyotes.

CFE 223 is probably your friend. Benchmark and TAC are other options. Used to use a 40gr vMax over a max charge of Benchmark for coyotes. Bang flop on the ones I killed with that load. It was doing 3,350fps out of a 16" barrel.
 
I'm loading up 2500 rds for a pd hunt this coming June
I'm using 2 AR's & 2 bolt guns , the AR's are 16 " HB
and a 20" BB , the round i choose for across the board is a
55 gn BTSP & H335 powder , the load is 25.0 and the
aol is 2250 my chrono fps are. this is with 10 shot groups
for a average fps .
16 inch barrel 2912 fps sd were 51 fps
20 inch barrel 3078 fps sd were 25 fps

this may give you another idea on H335
