26 + 10 / 2 = 18. Find level 17-29 enemies and fire away. Because the number of hits is the largest factor for gaining rep, I recommend (as others said) to use your weakest attacks on them, so that you can get the full 100 reputation (+crew bonus, etc.) for each enemy defeated.

I strongly prefer TAKE AIM as the range is farther. But once an enemy has been agitated, stop using take aim. Use only lead shot (at all times) as the skill points on other ammo types are generally a waste of skill points, reload trips, gold for ammo and a distraction. The other ammo types' damage increase is negligible (and not what you want, anyhow, when trying to level up a weapon.)

Rat's Nest on Tortuga might be good for you. There is a boss by the waterfall that your level might appreciate greatly. But just standing in the middle area, you'll be able to just keep turning, hitting very many medium-level targets (one at a time, hopefully.) Bring a friend along the first time you go, or lots-o-tonic, until you figure out their patterns.

Failing that, try Padres Beach on Padres del Fuego (run all the way through El Sudoron.) Stay away from the gypsies and raiders when you are there alone, but have fun with the grenadiers. Remember that there is an ammo shop there and you can get healing from the bartender for 5 GP (but only when wounded.)

Edit: Actually, a better recommendation from me, is to STOP. Work only on leveling-up grenades until they are at level 25.
