As I've mentioned before, my .26 experience began with a Swede, and I think it's sweet spot - as greydog mentions, - is a 140 gr. class bullet at 2700 based on a 24" barrel. In fact, I only loaded 140 gr. NPTs in that rifle.
But after many years I gave the rifle away. Naturally, I felt morally obligated to replace it with something familiar and ended up with my first CM big game hunting rifle.
No big surprise, this barrel luvs a 140 gr. class of bullet at 2700 based on a 24" barrel.
Go figure.
