26 nosler in a patriot rifle

[lboom]

I shoot a 6.5 Dakota with 140 bergers at 3412 and they still group well so I wonder what velocity he is running?

He was right around 3300,i wasn't there when he shot it over the chronograph.All the shots I shoot after switching scopes hit the target we didn't have any failures.I think the bergers are holding up fine.He should get it back next we I'll post what it does when we try them again and the factory ammo.I'm going to build a 6.5 Sin soon so glad to here you had good luck in your 6.5 Dakota.

About the hardest your going to drive a 140 in a Nosler is 3300-3350...
I honestly have never tried to....
RL33 is too **** fast for it.... RL50 and US869 are proper....gun)

Just went this weekend with by buddy who just purchased a Browning in 26. With the Berger 140's, 88grains of 869, we averaged 3361 fps over 9 shots. This is with my Pact Pro. I going down after work to put either the Nosler M48 or the Browning on Lay away. We got decent groups when he took the time to let the barrel cool between shots.
