[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2869829, member: 118512"] So I shot some at 600 yards today with 78 grains of RL-26 and it shot decent but not as consistent at 77 grains did. So then I decided I’d try one more grain up to 79 grains. And I’m seating the bullets only .003” off jam into the lands. It shot just as about accurate at the 77 grain load going 2,745 fps did. Except when loaded up to 79 grains it jumped up in velocity to 2,820 fps. Below is a picture of the first 4 shot group I shot with it this afternoon at 100 yards. I can see a slight ejector mark on the brass at 79 grains but it shot pretty darn well and 2,820 fps is moving for a 270 ELD out of a 338 Win Mag. I just have to decide now if I leave it at 2,820 or go back to 77 for 2,745. Probably gonna have to do a shoot off with both loads at 600 yards as soon as the wind calms down to see which shoots more accurate. [/QUOTE]
