what kind of velocity can i get out of a 26" barrel in

[warden]

i'm fixing to get a T/C encore with a 26" barrel in the .260. i was curious to see what kind of velocity i can expect when handloading the 120, 125 and 140grainers. i figured around 3000fps with the 120 and 125 and 2800fps with the 140s. any input would be appreciated. thanks.

Your numbers seem pretty realistic, give or take a little. Just remember every barrel is different. Some give higher velocity and some lower.

I concur!
