From my work with the 26 Nosler, I learned that Berger doesn't recommend pushing their VLD Hunting faster than 3,100 fps, recommended the Target VLD with a slightly heavier jacket for faster rounds.
Their top 26 Nosler load was around 3,100. fps. I called and told them the 26 would push a 140 much faster. The tech let me know why their limit was what it was. I'm not sure how well the Target version would hold up beyond 3,100, so I moved on to tougher bullets for the 26 Nosler.
