I saw on the berger site with a std. 270 that they are getting almost 3200 fps with the 140 gr. bullet and r26 with a 26" barrel. I possible it would seem to me that would be a good long range round out to about 800 yards. Your thoughts.

Last night i loaded some 150 LRAB will tedt soon as weather warms some. Im hoping for a good group near 3000.
 
Here is the 140 gamechanger @ 3141 using Rl26. I hit pressure @ 3225 with a swipe but I had very flat primers from 3180 without a shiney swipe. 130's are running @ 3170 and the ladder for 150 interbonds didn't show pressure @ 3110. I know I'm about .5-.7grns from a swipe so 3160ish max. I think I can run in that 3080-3110 range with Rl26.
I don't want to mess with it much though because the 140's are pretty good
