Great shooting.


How much RL 26 are you using with your load?


I am using 61.6 for my load.

That's out of a 22" Model 70 FWT

I plan on getting back to this one pretty quick and finalize it. It shot right around an inch for 3 shots, but I haven't had enough time to really tweak it. Pretty happy with 3150 in a 22" barrel.


Thanks. My guess was that RL 26 will probably max out at about 62g in most rifles. I too was happy with 3150 in my Tikka especially with good accuracy. I was surprised to get to that speed with such a low charge weight (60g) and wanted to check here if I was pushing the envelope. That's why you have to try stuff, the outcome isn't always predictable.

The 130 TTSX in .308 and .277 has been a wicked elk killer for me at ~3000. Another 150 fps should make it even "more better".

The truth angers those whom it does not convince
