100gr Scenars sizzling along at 4K are fun in a 26. I’d say not a deer load based on my one time experience with 90 gr Scenar out of a 240 Wby. Nasty clean up at skinning shed. Chest cavity was soup. Blew up diaphragm. Even has some corn in the soup. Once was enough. And that was around 3,500, not 4K fps, It would be fun blowing up stuff. DF

I use 120 Barnes in my Creedmoor’s and 6.5-06’s. I need to try them in the 264’s and the 26 Nosler. They hammer deer, pigs and damned Aoudads at Creed speeds.

They’ll bust’em up worse at 264 and 26 speeds.

120 TTSX out of the 26 at 3,450 fps. I can shoot them faster, but this load is half MOA, so I stuck with it. You don't generally think of monos being this destructive. Don't think my Creed shooting that bullet will mess up a hog this bad. DF

Dang, never seen a mono do that, cant recollect if I've shot em that fast either, the 750 grainer loafing along at 2070 fps from the 577 was plum gentlemanly to the armadillo.

Itching to try Ramshot LRT. I've messed with the other suspects with VV570 performing best other than poor SD.

Itching to try Ramshot LRT. I've messed with the other suspects with VV570 performing best other than poor SD. I tried n570. It's a very coarse stick powder and it stacks in my Uniflow. I had to drop a charge without drop tube in a scale pan and weigh. It reportedly is a high energy powder, and although faster than 869 or 872, I don't find it to be as accurate. QL shows it as the velocity champ in a number of big rounds. I'm glad I didn't buy much, as it's pretty expensive. These high energy powders are said to be harder on barrels. Well, the 26 Nos needs a break, doesn't need a powder that eats away the throats any faster. Let us know how LRT works. DF

Speed is very important. I try to keep velocities within the design window of any bullet used on game. The monos are said to not have a velocity ceiling, but as I've posted before, very low S.D. monos at hyper velocity don't always perform as well as one would wish. In this case, it's velocity that determines the amount of energy expended on a critter. Now, the 120 TTSX at Creed speed will kill; at 26 Nos speed it kills with a lot more destruction. I think the main excuse for such velocity is long range. It's hard to justify at the usual WT ranges of around 200 yds, more or less. But, it is fun. And the poster with 100 gr. Scenar at 4K. Well, that's extreme. I've learned better than shooting WT's with such a combo. 4K exceeds the design window of that bullet by a bunch, like the 90 gr. Scenar out of my.240 mentioned earlier. Loony stuff, for sure. But what else would be be ruminating over... DF

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/10017794/1 Same but different. Almost 10 years ago now. With the amount of reloading im doing these days. The 26 is a nice break .Without all the work. dave

I killed a 200 lb Aoudad last year with the 26. The 140 Ballistic tip knocked his dinky in the dirt too. Not much recoil with mine. It was a 7 mag Sendero that I wasn’t using. It has a Rock Creek Barrel.
