[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2787559, member: 48043"] I've never had a 26 Nos... I tried to buy a Hell's canyon smoke, but Browning discontinued the rifle before my lgs got any. IRRC I told them I'd buy either a 26 or 28; it didn't really matter as I just wanted the rifle. As to torching pipes and running them hard... I run my 7stw at just shy of 3400 fps with a 140 ab.. I suppose I could push it faster, but stuff dies well when I hit it and I might just get a few hundred more rounds out of her if I don't beat it within an inch of it's life. This is my 3rd 7stw barrel and I'm not keen on dropping coin on a 4th soon. The same goes for my 7rum; 3rd bbl... I'm running 175 eld-x at 2900 fps with her and she kills like lightning. I suppose in a few hundred rounds I'll have to change the primary load I've put through my 7stw barrels for 20+ years... I'm not playing where's Waldo trying to find Accubonds OR rl25... I might look at Speer or Hornady. Heck, I've probably got 600 Sierra 140 pro hunters on the shelf and no rifle to shoot them in. I might run wc872 or aa8700 and those pills... [/QUOTE]
