Just got my 26 nosler built. I plan is to use 127 LRX with US869 powder, since most say it the powder for the 26 nosler. Any good nodes to work around with US 869?
869 is a good one for the 26. Mine shoots 120 TTSX and E-Tips more accurately than the 127 LRX, although they’ll go near MOA.
My latest load is the new 156 EOL over Vv 170. It’s not as slow burning as 869, is a high energy powder, probably harder on barrels. But it’s the velocity champ with that bullet. No blood yet, but it’s ready.
872 Vulcan pull down powder is cheap and about a wash for 869, loads, velocities, etc., at least my jug. Jeff Barlett sells it. He says there can be significant lot to lot variation. Maybe I lucked up. At $55 for an 8# jug, not a bad deal.
