So far I've just done some very preliminary shooting with the 26 Nosler test rifle they loaned. The top 129-grain listed load of 82.0 grains of Ramshot Magnum shoots well under an inch at a little over 3400 fps, and not just with 3-shot groups.

Recoil is noticeably less than with my 7mm Weatherby Magnum using 140-160 grain bullets, but it has a 26" barrel and gets a little more zip than your rifle. Both rifles are about the same weight, but stock shape is different. Will see what happens with more load development.
