26 Nosler Load Data - Need Powder Suggestions

[DesertDweller62]

I am planning on working up a load for my buddies Browning X bolt Hells Canyon in 26 Nosler. I am planning on trying Swift 130 Scirocco, Hornady 143 ELD-X or 142 Nosler ABLR bullets. The brass is once fired Nolser factory and the primer will be a Federal 215 M. If you have any powder suggestions I would be grateful if you would share them with me. Hopefully I can come up with a load that uses powders that I have on hand. (Retumbo - RL 26 - 4831 SC) The powder recommendations from Nosler are powders I don't have. Thank you for your help!

Retumbo will be your best bet ..

Most that i built and loaded for i ran RL33 or h50bmg in it with 156 berger.. it ran them into 3300 with 1/4 min accuracy

the others listed wont get you the case fill you need

Thank you sir! Appreciate your input. I also thought Retumbo would be my best bet of the powerds I have on hand. Thanks again! DD62

Howdy, this cartridge is similar to a
6.5-300 Weatherby that I have. And finding loads for them are scariest.
These photos are from Nosler and Hodgdon, hope this helps.

I have a good friend using LRT with the 142 noslers shooting sub 1" at 200 yards at 3350fps out of his browning 26 nosler.

Of your options, retumbo without a doubt. For powder that is relatively easy to find, LRT is a good option if you don't mind a ball powder and don't require temp stability, it gets great velocity. H50bmg is also pretty common now. RL33 would be great....but is pretty scarce.
