Me too. I've shot a couple lbs now of Re 26 and have never broke 3100 but did run it to 61.5 for 3075 in my 24" Kimber. I stopped at 60 gr and 3040-3050 depending on the day with a 150 NPT. I'm a skeered to run it any higher, plus an extra 50 ft/sec ain't buying me anything.

At 3050, it runs really flat out to my max (500 yards). I shot 2 elk last year with that load - both under 75 yards, closer to 50. Bullet worked as advertised. The elk hated it <G>

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
