Tanner,
That makes me nervous, too.
The 26 Nos, with 93 gr. H2O case capacity, will push 140's at 3,300, SAAMI pressure. From what I've read and heard, around 3,000 fps is about top speed for 160's in the 26. That's why I'm not going there. I'm thinking the 127 LRX at 3,600 fps may be about optimal, velocity vs. B.C., for the 26. For 160's there's the 7RM.
That may not make sense to a LR target shooter, but looks pretty good to a hunter. My thinking has evolved while working with this round, so it may evolve some more...
