[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1957711, member: 77441"] I had a lot of issues with the 147 in my 26 nosler. Going to fast i assume. See helical lead spray on holes. I am about 350 rounds into current barrel and have found all copper bullets to be the best consistency, jacketed bullets never did well. 140 sierras did well, but only when MV was reduced to around 3050fps which really defeats the whole purpose of the 26 nosler. You will have to chase lands early. This cartridge eats the throat. Cool barrel often when shooting. Hornady OAL measurements have increased 0.040-0.045" over 350 rounds. Find a load it likes, baby it and you will be good for many seasons. 127 LRX over retumbo with fed 215s has been the best for me (~3450fps). I did have some ignition issues with CCI 250s, so recommend staying away from those. Tried RL 33, US869 and retumbo. AVG groups around 0.6MOA. So far a moose and mule deer have been taken with it, both around 700 yds. As of now i'm shooting 10-20 or so rounds a year. I love the rifle. Its a rebarreled savage around 11 pounds with everything. Kicks about like a sporter weight 308. [/QUOTE]
