26 Nosler load questions

[Mike D Texas]

Does anyone have a 26 Nosler that is throated long? I was playing around with some brass and 156 EOLs and it looks like the ideal COAL to place the bullet properly seems to be around 3.650".

If you do have one, what powder do you use and what velocity do you typically see?

Anyone?

I think the 26 Nosler guys are deer hunting, lol.

Must be.

H1000, Retumbo, N568, N570, RL 33 will all work well.

My dummy round was at 3.670" COL, and I got a reamer print from Manson based on that. I have a 34" 7 twist barrel blank waiting for the reamer. I only have Hornady brass so not rushing into it until I can find Peterson. Hopefully soon.

Nice. That sounds very close to how I would set mine up. But I will likely neck down ADG 28 Nosler brass.

I've done the same thing with a few Manson Reamers. I just sent 2 more cartridge prints off with dummy rounds this week, one of them being the 26 Nosler.

What powder do you plan to run?

H50BMG, LRT, US869, RL33. Long barrel so I'm hoping the H50BMG picks up some speed versus LRT.

Those are exactly what I was seeing was going to offer top performance.
