[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1210727, member: 13110"] I just shot the one I built this weekend with a 26" Brux barrel and got a little more velocity than you did with uncoated bullets. My loaded rounds are 3.199". I shot up to 71grs of R-26 with 215 Bergers before I got faint ejector marks at a MV of 3050fps and a .280" group. 70grs shot 2 in one hole and I pulled the 3rd at 2990fps. I'd suggest stoking it up some. With coated bullets and a even longer throat you will probably be 71+grs before you get where it's happy. A Quickloads prediction was 71.5grs of R-26 with 215's at 3.2". [/QUOTE]
