[QUOTE="stx, post: 1304430, member: 21006"] The 26N is a tougher cartridge to load for, or at least has been in the two that I have had. I found both rifles to be very picky, woth narrow wkndows for good loads. With 140's i was right around 3300fps and brass life would be 4-5 loading before the brass was toast (won't chamber as its too fat, and primer pockets loose).[/QUOTE] ************************************************************************************************** I've found the same thing to be true! Since I didn't build this rifle to do a lot of shooting with, I've decided to stick with new and once fired, full length resized brass only! Doing this I have no problems with loose primer pockets or chambering. I already have load development with 140 HVLDs and 127 LRXs, so for me, it will be just sighting in every year and then a few rounds used on game each year! I love the speed and accuracy of this rifle and at this rate, it should last me a lifetime! I have plenty other rifles to shoot all I want.... [/QUOTE]
