Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 26 NOSLER IMR 8133

Has any one worked up loads for the 26 Nosler using IMR 8133, if so please share.

I use 869, excellent accuracy with 140 Nosler Ballistic tips.

I have been interested in the same thing. As soon as whittackers gets some 8133 I’m gonna try it

Hi folks, new to Campfire. Been reloading for 30+ years. Hopefully I can share some useful info.

I have reloaded for 3 different 26 Nosler's (Cooper, LAW and Hill Country). As you probably already know this cartridge can be finicky with regards to pressure so please proceed with caution as every rifle is different.

With regards to IMR 8133 and using it for a 26 Nosler, I windowed my Hill Country from 75 grains up to 77.5 Grains using a Barnes 127 Grain LRX and FED215M primers. Nosler Brass. Best groups were on the low end of the window (.34" & .37") at 100 yards. I do plan to spend more time with some other bullets using this powder.

US869 is my go to powder in this cartridge and seems to provide the most consistent results across various rifles and bullet combinations.

I use 869 with 140 Ballistic tips. Very accurate

Thanks Tex_LR for responding, please keep us up to date on your findings.
