[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1286111, member: 12193"] Try pulling the trigger harder, that will add a bunch of velocity. Ok, not really. Somebody posted a comparison between 20" and 22" barrels with a .260 shooting the 120 grain Barnes. Average velocity loss was around 65 fps per inch with RL-19. That powder is very similar to the ones you've tried, and its among the slower burning powders for such a bullet. Frequently when looking at loading data these slower powders will show the highest velocity but when you use a shorter barrel it changes things. Try using a faster powder, such as Varget, H414, 4895, etc., which will give a more complete burn in your barrel. The published max velocity will be lower but you'll lose fewer fps due to the short barrel. [/QUOTE]
