[QUOTE="300 Driver, post: 1270014, member: 91257"] Idaho, how is your brass holding up? I'm running 215s over R26 in a factory Savage short action and I'm starting to see loose primer pockets at 7 reloads. Win brass. I'm happy with it and have more cases waiting to be used once I kill off this set of 100. I'm running 2840fps out of a 26" barrel. The R26 and 215 combo is lights out though...1/2 MOA or better until I screw it up. For the OP, I'd recommend shooting a heavier bullet than the 168, but that's just me. I like the big heavy ones. I started shooting 130gr Barnes X bullets at 3500fps(and 150 NBT, 165 NBT, 180 Accubond)in mine and I have no intention of going back to anything below 200gr. I have a 1:10 twist though, that may limit what bullet you shoot. Even though there is a member on this sight shooting the 215s out of a 1:11 Tikka IIRC. [/QUOTE]
