I have a batch loaded up if it ever gets above zero and quits snowing I will get out and test them.
I settled on 58.0 grains of RL-26,Fed 210 Match primer and 160 gr NP. From the 22" barrel it's averaging 2850 fps. Accuracy is under an inch.

With 59.0 grains it averaged 2910 fps,but accuracy was ok.
