[QUOTE="joe406, post: 1269859, member: 92440"] Best guess is about 3400 fps (26" barrel with 8.5" twist). It is a new rifle and I was shooting Accubond Trophy Grade to get me started, zeroed at 200. I'm still putting together my equipment for reloading the 26. My plan is to hand load 143 gr ELD X so if anyone has a load for that I would appreciate it. I chose not to load the Accubond LR because I think it is too thin skinned, and at high velocity I suspect it may fragment early and badly. If Barnes made a bullet (a harder bullet) with better BC, I think that would be a pretty good bullet for this rifle. [/QUOTE]
