[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1776095, member: 87243"] Ya. With Reloder 26, I send the 140's around 3070-3100 or so, 156's maxed out for me around 3000 or a shade under, I run them at 2940 with 49.0 grains for best accuracy (HBN coated bullets), pretty far below my max, with a 29" tube, 8 twist, @ 6600 ft elevation. Another member on here, Graywolf, has a 20" Tikka CTR rechambered to .260ai, so also an 8 twist, and with 48.5 grains rl26 is running the 156 @ 2725 fps, says accuracy is great. Gives you a rough idea where you would end up. You would end up in the 2800's I would say, maybe hit 2900 depending on where your node fell. RL26 doesn't seem to loose as much velocity with shorter barrels like some of the other slow powders do.... Anyway. I'll stop derailing. [/QUOTE]
