What did you choose for a starting load?60 grains and a 143 hammer hunter is 3060 22 inch barrel.
Thanks, will do.57 grains. Mag primers took it over 3100 fps but accuracy fell off a bit and didn't feel like re working up a load. Hit pressure at 62 grains. Approach with caution your rifle may vary.
Yessir I will. May take a week or so, hurricane Delta is about to pound us and I may not get any range time this weekend because of it.Please post results. I've been using RE23 with 145 Barnes and 143 Hammer hunter. I manage 3100 fps and really not pushing hard (Nosler brass). Also a FED GM215M PRIMER.
After careful brass prep it's really great on ES and a double base powder.
Your data would be interesting!
The 168s are what I'll be going to after this deer season. I have a saami chamber and a short throat. My smith is going to lengthen the throat for me once the deer season rush is over.I use N560 with a 168gr VLD...61.4 at .020" off gives me very good accuracy and right about 3000 fps for velocity from a 25" barrel. Normal disclaimers of work up to load, it may not be safe in your rifle, etc.
That bullet will be part of a "killer" combo for deer and goats!I was doing inventory yesterday and ran across 2 unopened boxes of speer 145 gr boattails and 3 unopened pounds of N560 and got to thinking. Oughtta make a good combo for deer/antelope. What kind of speeds does it give you in the 270?
Yes sir I believe so too. I've shot it for several years out of my standard 280 Rem and its been lights out for deer here in North Louisiana. Only had a few run and they did'nt go far. I already have test loads ready to shoot with Re26 and next will be the N560. Just need this hurricane to get outta here.That bullet will be part of a "killer" combo for deer and goats!
I had the exact same experience with RL26, 23 shot phenomenal.Ok... so RE26 is out had a couple of decent groups but seems to give a flyer in nearly every group. On to the N560 I guess.
