[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 936241, member: 63138"] [SIZE=3]There are a few things which might make the 140 Bergers usable in my 26 Nosler. Number one, the barrel is an 8.5 twist. Number two, the barrel uses 5R rifling. Number three, it is not very often that a rifle is most accurate right at max load so I'll likely end up at something less than 3,500 fps even if RL-33 works as expected. No need to beat up the brass when the bullet can't take it either. And this brass is expensive at $2.64 each.
