This is pretty average for what I get from the LRX at 100y - dropped to 79gr which had a better ES.
 
I tired US869 on my 26 Nosler. I got mixed results and didn't care much for the powder. I switched to RL33 with 136gr Lapua Scenars and now shoots consistent 1/2" groups at 100 yards and doing well to 900 yards. The speed with 26" barrel is 3415fps.
Are u using the scenars for hunting as well
 
So I loaded up 5 shots with 74 gr of retumbo and 142gr ablr to mag length but the bolt is a snug lift when extracting but I'm getting sub moa to 500 yards do u guys think this is ok
