It likes once fired or even 7 times fired winchester brass.F-C or R-P brass blows the groups.Don't get caught up in speed ...Accuracy rules.Of course we all know that. Here is the hunting load i use in my 10fp..actually the only load i use now.2550fps could possibly be improved upon with your 26" barrel,, If you want to try and ink a few fps more i would possibly look at Ramshot Hunter powder with that 180gr pill.[ATTACH]33863[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
