Well, I already have 130 gr. SSII's on hand from other 6.5 projects.

Won't hurt to load a few just to see. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm not putting much hope in them being "the bullet" for the 26.

My guess would be 150 Matrix, 140 Berger, NAB, LRAB, etc. If I knew for sure, I wouldn't have to spend time at the range, checking'em out. But, that's the fun of a project like this.

My hunting bud wants me to load NPT's in his 26. Those may not be my idea of an ideal LR bullet, but he loves them and I'll load him some.
