[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1333484, member: 42308"] I also treat them like the Berger VLD bullets. I have not tried R-26 yet. I start my hunting rigs at 0.005" below my maximum magazine length and worked shorter until I found the seating depth (CBTO) my rifle shot best then I played with the powder charges and primer. My hunting rigs have to be able to reliably magazine feed or they don't get a forever home in my safe. I have to do the normal Hornady sorting to get any accuracy that is acceptable for ethical hunting beyond 600 with my rifle, YMMV. I found my rifles top velocity with best accuracy node at 3,140ish to 3,175. I settled at 3,168 with my SD running 8fps as measured by 10 cold bore shots over my magnetospeed. Everything above that and accuracy rapidly deteriorated in either SD or grouping or both from my rifle I tested with. Every rifle is a bit different though. My 264 WIN rifles are my favorite hunting rigs and the 143ELDX certainly is enough bullet for most things when properly prepared. Have fun and be safe. [/QUOTE]
