140 grn out of the sweed at 2920+ FPS
What length barrel?
22.5 Tikka
Holy pressure Batman!
Nope..... primers edges just starting to smooth out, but no where near flattened, no hard bolt lift, no swelling, no other signs of pressure....new old stock 60's Lapua brass, Norma MRP, and moly coated `140gr AB and ABLR........
I can see that potentially working. With 48 grains of Re 26, I clocked some 140 Partitions at 2998 fps from my 24-inch .260. The load was showing some ejector marks, so I started to back off. At 47 grains, I am still at 2924 and accuracy is getting better. Trying 46.5 this morning to see if the group shrinks a bit. Re 26 smokes with heavy 6.5 bullets.
One thing that I notice about 26, is that some of my es is virtually zero.
