A vote for picking one bullet, developing a load and then using it to hunt. With two 26Ns and three 28Ns under my belt, these two rounds are not suited for multi-load/bullet weight development. I've found the best way to develop a load is to do it when it's cold and shoot one, let it cool, shoot another, let it cool...... Your barrel will last longer than just pumping three to five rounds through it in a rush fashion. This goes for the 7RM too. The 28N is easy to tune up to the 180s. General consensus on the 190 class of bullets is they aren't the ideal bullet weight for this cartridge. I've found it loves the flat shooting 168 Bergers HVLDs.
