I have imr4831sc do you think I would see same or similar numbers out of a 26" 1/8 twist ? Just curious.With H4831sc I've gone past 2900 with the 147s in a 25" barrel with 6.5CM, but accuracy trumps velocity.

Anyone have results from a shorter barrel? I'm looking to order a 22" proof for a hunting gun and using 143 eld-x.
My savage axis has a 22 inch barrel. I’m getting 2875 FPS from 47 grains of Reloader 26 and ELD-M’s. No pressure signs. Hornady brass.Anyone have results from a shorter barrel? I'm looking to order a 22" proof for a hunting gun and using 143 eld-x.
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark.
Lapua brass probably dose not have the same case capacity as the hormady. Basing this on the fact that lapua is thicker walled.
Also want to add, after i read in this thread that mag primers gave better results. I tried
Win LRP, & CCI 250's,W/47 gr. Rl26 groups went to hell!!
I shot my load of 47 gr. RL26 W/ CCI200, topped W/143eldx, 5 under a dime @100,holds 1" group at 200yds.
Shot all three loads at same time,I came to conclusion hotter primer is not the ticket.
Also noticed groups opened up above 47 gr.
Just sharing what I've learned here
I'm getting 2865 fps with the HDY 143s with 48gr of RL26, Lapua brass and CCI450 primers in my 6.5 Creedmoor.
The barrel is 24" 1/8 twist Tikka.
