26 will absolutely take them over 3k.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Crimping a LR load?
Never would have crossed my mind.
Did Nosler suggest a crimp? The crimp is to make neck tension more consistent. Benchrest shooters turn and size brass with great detail on neck tensions. even going as far as using a k&m with a gauge to measure force required to seat each bullet. The average shooter could care less but a crimp can in many cases make all things equal. Put this in the list of stupid things I say. Lol.

I ran a series today with a few powders and all factory crimped and seated quite deep, like .250" deep. The re26 shot 5 into 1.1" with one opening that group from .7" the 5 had a 3fps spread @3033fps. I was shooting off the hood and it was blowing about 15 mph. ....so I'm completely pleased with that group. It's done close to the same before the factory crimp, so I don't feel it's a fluke.
7828 really shined as well shooting about the same but 220fps slower and magpro was running right in the hunt for speed giving up about. 2" to the 26.
Looks like my little Ti rifle will see some action with these.
