[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2290105, member: 117774"] Either go to a heavier bullet or a little faster powder. A heavier bullet will help burn more of the powder before the bullet leaves the barrel. You probably won't gain any velocity, but the energy of the heavier bullet will carry downrange further. The pressure build curve on the powder you are using is good for barrels over 24" long and is extremely effective in barrels 26" and longer. And, as others have already said, that setup should have gotten 3000 FPS or more. Maybe check against another chrony? [/QUOTE]
