Help with core making

Hi guys!

I'm struggling to find the best approach regarding a piece where I need a core diam. 10mm and length 260mm.

The core would be attached on one side of the piece.

- Sand casting:

Core using sodium silicate. Has to be horizontal.

Sustained with a pin. I fear a crack or shifting.

I could put a copper tube filed with rammed sand?

- ceramic shell

Core too porous, therefore fragile

- lost wax casting

Investment is fragile regarding length.

Any idea? Suggestions to give this core a strength?
