26 nosler help

[338savage]

I am running 79gr RL33, gives me 3490ish fps. I am running .070" off the lands but don't remember the oal offhand. I have a bit longer throat than sammi spec.

Yeah I have a lot of free bore in my tikka as well

I have a 26 with Stiller action and brux barrel. Today kinda by accident I found a real tac driver,at least for me,78 grains retumbo,Winchester magnum primers,140 grain Berger's seated .002 off lands,3.52 oal ,boron nitride,3391fps,easy bolt ,three shots in 5/8 of inch at 200 yds,suppressor.went from Barnes 127lrx to Berger and forgot to set oal is why they ended up so long

This is pretty average for what I get from the LRX at 100y - dropped to 79gr which had a better ES.

I tired US869 on my 26 Nosler. I got mixed results and didn't care much for the powder. I switched to RL33 with 136gr Lapua Scenars and now shoots consistent 1/2" groups at 100 yards and doing well to 900 yards. The speed with 26" barrel is 3415fps.

Are u using the scenars for hunting as well

 

[338savage]

So I loaded up 5 shots with 74 gr of retumbo and 142gr ablr to mag length but the bolt is a snug lift when extracting but I'm getting sub moa to 500 yards do u guys think this is ok

When I tried ablr I had higher pressure that with Berger's,try different bullet and check results

 

[338savage]

Well got my hands on some should be good for a bit
