I'm going to pick a middle of the road load to try out with both powder bullet combos. I'm not trying to hotrod at all, this is a pure hunting rifle that as of right now it has 67 rounds down the barrel. As long as I can duplicate factory velocities I will be happy with that.
Friends,
I need Quickloads for the 26 Nosler with RL33 and LRT for 120gr Nosler E-Tip and 127gr Barnes LRX. Nosler once fired brass, WLRM primers. 26" barrel. LRT data is scarce and most RL33 data seems anemic. Any help would be appreciated.
Ammo is bad. I took a new gun owner friend to our indoor range recently to shoot his new 9mm. It was really cooking outside and wanted him to be comfortable his first time out. I had about 150 rds and he had 50. At the counter checking in we both requested a box of range ammo to add to what we...
The sierra 85gr HP has always been a favorite for song dogs and other varmints in the 260 and would be great in the Grendel. I've yet to try it in mine. If you can find the Federal AE Varmint & Predator 50 count loaded with the 90gr Speer TNT it is very good. Near 2900fps out of my 18" barrel...
I would step up to the 125gr Partition or 129 LBLR/130 AB. Running up on or over 3000 fps, a close in shot would be tough on a bullet. Not to say that I haven't seen the 120 BT put a bunch of big Missouri WT on the ground in my dads 260 but safe is better than sorry.
Im not that old and I grew up riding 4 wide in a 74 Ford pick up and when I was older in the bed of the truck whenever possible. No car seats no seat belts and absolutely a rifle in the gun rack at all times. All of those things are now illegal and socially unacceptable. That was just 35 yrs ago.
yes sir, its a consignment rifle and it seems to be near new and priced as such. It has an absolutely beautiful stock and VERY light(5 lbs 10oz I believe w/ 22" barrel) the only thing that turns me off is the matte finish. A rifle that nice should have a deep blue like the super America. They...
I have a friend who is testing StaBALL 6.5 in the 30-06 and is getting impressive speed out of a 24" barrel and 165gr bullets. Up over 3000 fps and hasn't maxed it out yet. that's singing for the old war horse
The henry Long Ranger deserves a look. can be had in 243, 308 and 6.5 Creed. the BLR is the only production rifle chambered in 358 and Savage is the only producing 338 rifles. They do chamber their MSR(AR10 pattern) in 338 that would work for your ambi purposes
