I got over 3300 with the 140 VLD at the top end in my .264 Winchester Magnum with RL-33.
I'm betting still that RL-33 and WC-872 will be better for velocity in the 26 Nosler than US-869
Rick,
Have you shot any critters with the 140 VLD at 3,300 fps? Lot of guys use the VLD for LR work, but sometimes a close shot presents, like 100 yds. I was wondering how explosive a 140 VLD may be under those conditions.
My feeling is to chamber the 26 Nosler with the 140 VLD at optimal seating in the big case, with only the boattail hanging down in the case body. As posted earlier, that results in an approx. 3.5" COAL vs. the std. 3.34" COAL.
I have 136 gr. Scenar-L, 130 NAB, 130 SSII and monometal bullets to try. Any of these could be used if the VLD proves too friable at close, high vel. impact on WT's etc.
