[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1445994, member: 85987"] I've seen step lapped barrels 22" shoot much higher velocities as the same brand@ 26 without the lapping process. I understand what your saying however I feel that even though it will get faster it will not get 75fps faster in 30 shots. I've tested 4350 in my 24 and a customer's 26" savage with negligible differences in velocities. Rl26 was quite different. We saw 91fps difference and where mine would show an ejector mark his would shoot that velocity .7-.9 grains less(I gave my book on that rifle to it's new owner) I would encourage the poster to try 4955 with the 147 if he wants a cleaner burning powder than rl 26. Not quite as good velocities however it showed alot of promise in the ladder with 142's and would benefit with the longer barrel more than h4350. Rl16 shot faster than 4350 for me but it would not group or come in with sd's below about 20 much above 2725. I didn't shoot anything in the creed above 53/cloudy. I only had 2 range days above 35 most were below 25degrees. [/QUOTE]
