N560

2.9 oacl alpha brass .04 jump in my rifle

45.2 2768 no pressure

46.4 2860... slightly stiff bolt and ejector mark so I'm going to work around 45 to 45.5

Nobody is running a 156 in a creed?

I have been shooting steel at 1000 yards with the 156 Berger in my 6.5 Creed using 40.7grs. of RL17 (over recommended maximum load) sparked with a WLR with a velocity of of 2656-2689 fps depending on the temperature. I am shooting at 6600' elevation.
In my Savage M-11 LRH it has proven consistently extremely accurate.
I am not a long range shooter of game animals, as I really like getting close, but feel good shooting Elk inside of 500 yards.
I find this bullet is not picky about over all Length so I have it long enough to fit in my magazine but out of the lands.
Even though this bullet is extremely accurate I feel for me much higher confidants in the Nosler Accubond or Partitions.

The Kelbly Koda I have been shooting loves 39.4 grains of H4350 at 2.120 to the ogive with 156s. It is very accurate with small es so I have not looked elsewhere. Velocity is 2610fps.

Shot these when they first came out. Ran them at 2725. Flew well out to 1100. Slightly warm load with h4350

Does anyone else has any RL26 data with these?

Got my LabRadar on yesterday and tested the 156EOL Berger in my Remington Custom shop KUIU Ultimate sheep rifle. It has a 20" proof research with 8 twist. It shot this bullet with 46.1grns with RL26 a .296 at an average of 2698fps. The highest was 2705 and lowest 2689. ES was 15 STD Deviation was 8.0. This little rifle ROCKS with this combination.

That's fantastic! Hold on to that one

I used 46.5 gr RL26 with the 156 eol in a 20" Tikka CTR 6.5CM and got 2603 FPS.

In a 22" T3X 6.5x55 with 51 gr RL26 I saw 2828 FPS.

Any pressure signs? And with what brass?

 

[graywolf]

With Lapua brass, no pressure signs and very good accuracy

Hi All - new member and first post. I tried these under 41.0gr H4350 in a Creed - Proof 1:8 24". Promising results. 2.165 CBTO right at the length of my mag about 2.868 OAL. Starline LP brass. I was impressed.

For those of you who have reported using 46+ gr of R26, are you using a drop tube or is this compressed? I've not tested this but according to QL, based on my cases measured H2O, 46.1 of R26 is 103.7% fill with this bullet. It also says I should be around 2877 fps. I don't have a drop tube but may have to get one and order up some of these bullets. Currently shooting the 147 eld-M. I load up to mag length, 2.87 but could go to 2.91 if I want to single feed.

Using Hornady brass, 47.6 gr RL 26 fit easily. Fairly heavily compressed load. Mag length 147 gr ELD.
