Just playing around today.
First two were bore sighters…not shown.
ELDX 162
COAL: 2.850
RL26
SCR 18"
Plan to explore the 62.5-63.5 range
GRT predicted 2933… I could play around with the bulk density and humidity and it might've matched up

*Update*
I think at 63.3 gr It opens up, but it was kind of windy and I was probably getting tired after working all day in the fields . I don't know… I'll explore it again later. Pics of the Brass are the 63.3 grain load.

That is pretty exciting on an 18" barrel. I would have thought R26 was too slow for a barrel that short. Nice work
Yes, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. RL 26 is what I use in my two 24" 7 SS's.
Updated pic
Gonna explore 62.8…use a mandrel to set the fit.
