all my barrels are 8 twist but wanted to comment on RL26 to see if I could squeeze out more velocity over RL19. with high county getting 3150 out of a 20" barrel, i was hoping I could get 3450 or 3500fps out of a 26" barrel.

3400 is doable with a 28" or longer barrel so you should be able to get close or in the 3350 ball park at least. I stopped at 3150 in a 24" barrel as accuracy was good and I was at book max and no need to push it harder.

My 22" Ruger 243 is accurate with 47 Gr of RL 26, CCI 200 primer, RP Case, 105 Gr Horn. A Max, 3063 FPS.
Any higher loads and it shows ejector marks.
Reduced and accuracy goes.

Picked up some RL 19 yesterday.... been out of it for a while... Will be trying it soon... now if I can just find some of those new 108 grain ELD-M from Hornady and those 110 grain Match HPs from Sierra... gotta try those in my 6mm Rem..... as it has the one in 7 twist...

I love the Hornady 105gr HPBT the best, my barrels don't shoot the a-max near as good as the HP's, that's OK as the bc is higher too

How many grains are you using to get this speed to the gills.. and then just level off the top and seat your bullet.. just funnin' but pretty close to what I've done with the 243 and RL 26.. with 105 grain bullets.... try a new 108 grain Hornady ELD Match with that 1 in 10 twist.. minute of Sling Shot results...at 50 yds...
