I managed to acquire 9 pounds of the pixie dust back in 2020. I only use it in these two 30 Nosler XP-100's. Compared to H1000, it's roughly 100 fps more velocity with similar accuracy.I have to cry foul on the load data. I beleive 99% of us don't have nor can we obtain the mythical RL-26... it's Pixie dust infused Unicorn dookie. Can't get it. Wish I could.Pure envy here. Nice shoot'n!

You just had to let it roll back and ride it out during the recoil cycle. I'll try to find that picture...
Hey @Buttermilk, is there a build thread on these hand cannons? I'm interested in reading through that.

30 Nosler #2 XP-100 Update
I posted a few days ago about my second XP-100 chambered in 30 Nosler. I liked my first one so well, I wanted a second one built very similar but with a carbon wrapped barrel. I was hoping to save a pound or two compared to the first one. Sometime back, I started collecting parts to build the...
Here's one. I may have others from a few years ago. I'd have to do some digging thru my old threads.
