[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1510793, member: 14435"] The 26 is fairly hard on bullets, I wonder if a 9twist barrel would stabilize a 140/142 and be a bit easier on the bullet. I think that twist reduction may help the bullets stay together a bit better. I shot a pile of different bullets in my 26's (had two) and settled on the 127LRX in the current 26. That runs 3490 out of a 26" barrel. Off the top of my head I tried 140amax, 140sst, 140 AB, 142lrab, 129lrab, 160chinchaga, 140vld-h, 120ttsx, 127LRX. The best accuracy I saw was with the 140ab and 127lrx. [/QUOTE]
