[QUOTE="Longtooth32, post: 1514615, member: 89326"] Put the 19Lb striker spring in today... Finally got some data points and I have to pull about of 20 rounds of ammo because they would be way too hot. I was not getting any of the usual pressure signs with this Nucleus action. Then it suddenly locked up with the next one grain increase in powder. I actually had to kick the action open with the rubber sole of my boot. But holy cow the barrel was putting down some impressive speeds. The rifle was shooting this target (yes, I biffed one) @ an average speed of 3427 fps with an ES of 27 from 10 rounds, and then it locked up with one more grain of powder from this load. Again, bipod and rear bag out of the back of my pick-up. Lased 101 yards. [ATTACH=full]111422[/ATTACH] 28" barrel, 1-8 twist, Magnetospeed on the end of the barrel...150 gr Sierra Match King. Necked down 270 Wby brass. If I step down the powder by two grains from the above load I still get an ave speed of 3372fps with an ES of 8 for 5 rounds. What kind of speeds can a reloaded 26 Nosler put down? I have 6.5mm 160gr Matrix bullets inbound. [/QUOTE]
