    26 Nosler - Hot rod for the 21st Century

    I have been shooting 143 ELD-X through two different 26 Nosler with 30 inch Bartlein 5R barrel. 86 gr of RL-33 shoots 3520 fps and under 1/2 moa. These rifles loves the 143 ELD-X and the 140 ELD-Match bullets. Unfortunately, only for about 250 rounds. Granted that is an extreme hot rod load, but...

    26 nosler rl-33 proof research lightweight buz word

    Great topic guys, Its hard to find good info on the 26. I just built two of them and need to start some load development, I recently purchased some RL-33 thinking it would be a good match for the 26. Thanks for taking the time to post the info.

    26 Nosler - Hot rod for the 21st Century

    I have been disappointed in the accuracy of the 26 nosler with factory ammo. After all the hubbub about the new Nosler rifles and their moa accuracy, I expected more. Not many people achieve moa results with the 26 nosler long range bullets or factory ammo as far as my research has indicated or...

    RL-17 vs H4350 and temperature variance

    Todd, can you tell me the fps difference in your RL-17 and H4350 loads. I know its an old post but I would sure like to know what kind of velocity changes I can expect. I shoot a 6mm WSM wildcat, 95gr Berger VLD with 56gr of RL-17, 30" Bartlein barrel @3650 on a 70 degree day and the same load...

    Outlaw, I have been shooting a 6-284 for about twelve years now. It has a 1:10 twist Kreiger barrel and has shot the 95gr Berger @3600 in the three's. I could never get it to stabilize the 107's with the 1:10 barrel. Would you be willing to tell me what barrel manufacturer you use and the twist...

    what about a 6mm wsm

    I currently own two 6-284, One 12 twist and one 9 twist. I own two 6-WSM, one kreiger 8 twist and one Bartlein 9 twist and one 6.5 WSM with a Kreiger 9 twist. My vote goes to the 6-284. It uses less powder to get the same results, 6.5-284 cases are available from Norma and easy to neck down. I...

    Any experience with Mike Hill, gunsmith in Springville, Utah?

    Mike built my first longrange rifle about 18 years ago and did a great job. 6-7" groups @1000. He has also built four of them for me since then.
