DF, what speeds are you getting with 140gr class bullets with your 26N?
3,300 without pushing it.
Probably better than that with "Fire" pressure...
It's a big ole case and even when Nosler denotes compressed load, it's not a compressed load. Brass is expensive but outstanding quality, like match brass. Very uniform necks, etc.
You about gotta go with US-869 or WC-872 powders and I use WLRM primers. With those powders, accuracy comes easy, like 1/2 MOA with several combos. It seems real forgiving in that regard, not finicky.
120 E-Tips run around 3,450 fps and are deadly killers on hogs and WT's, in fact it's hard to tell a difference in terminal performance between them and 140 NPT's/140 NAB's at 3,300.
Double Tap factory ammo runs 127 LRX's at 3,600 fps. With 91 gr. 869, a Fire contributor clocked 3,575 fps and reported 3/8" groups. His 3,600+ loads weren't quite that accurte. I have a batch loaded, ready to go. Will report.
