Thanks, it looks a lot like yours! great minds must think alike! 42gr RL26 in Alpha LRP 22CM brass. I have a long throat in mine, but it shot best with quite a bit of jump. Below is an 800 yard target while I was getting my ballistic program dialed in.

I built one this last winter...hands down one of my favorite rifles. Went 3 for 3 on the 1,200 yard gong last weekend with the 95 SMK doing about 3135 with RL26 out of a 24" 1:7. I tried the 88 ELDM, but the 95 SMK shot better in my rifle at the same speed as my decent load with the 88 ELDM. I...

Jim, That is a fine looking rifle! I'm running the 265 ABLR with 87 gr RL-26 and getting sub .5 moa groups and 2940 fps. I bet you may be able to reach your 3,000 goal with RL-26 if Retumbo doesn't work out for you. I had a good Retumbo load (93.5 or 94gr I can't remember exactly) for the...

I love the 338 WM as an Elk rifle. I have shot several elk with several different bullets. the Barnes 185 XLC (?, the blue coated ones), the 225 AB, the 225 Ttsx and tsx. I have also ran the 225 Ab out of a 338 Edge, and the 250 VLD and 265 ABLR out of the 338 Rum. Out of all those bullets, I...

I have had a handful of 270 WSM. I ended up selling them to buy a 270 Weatherby because I couldn't get the speed I was convinced I had to have. I bought my father in law a 270 WSM a few years ago. It had a 26" inch tube and RL26 had been released since my last 270 WSM. I'm able to safely push a...

I don't have much experience with either one. I don't own a .30 cal, and don't intend to. With that being said, the 30 PRC seems well thought out and would be one that I would spend a lot of time looking at if I were to pick up a 30 cal. I do have a couple of 6.5 SAUM which are pretty close to...

I have tried them in 2 different 6.5 SAUM. I had better luck with Retumbo than I did with H1000. With that being said I was never able to achieve satisfactory results, and I tried hard.

I see no reason for a long action. These are 88gr. ELDM loaded to 2.685". I have plenty of room left in the mag. This length puts the base of the boat tail at the neck/shoulder junction. FYI, a non VLD seating stem will make small indents on the bullet. Switched to a VLD style and the rings went...

This thread is getting my blood pumping. I'm waiting on the action, reamer, and suppressor to get out of jail. Have a bunch of Alpha brass, 200 88gr. ELDM, 24" proof 1:7, and a MDT LSS sitting on the shelf. I plan on going with the 88gr ELDM just because I know they'll expand on yotes and maybe...

I used an adjustable gas block and turned it back a until it didn't feed right, then took it back up half a turn. Has functioned flawlessly every since without eating brass. I'm running 33gr (Nosler listed Max) of CFE223 under a 55gr bt. and I'm getting 3300 out of a 20" tube. I had really good...

I have used quite a bit of CFE 223 in my .223 and my 22 Nosler. I have found that I get great accuracy as well as speed in both. Currently using 33 gr. to drive a 55gr NBT @ 3300 fps out of a 20" 22 Nosler AR. Shoots very well, five shot groups in the .5" range are not uncommon. I have taken a...

Guy, I joined a 6CM facebook group and did some searching around for my load data. Started lower and worked up a bit. I haven't shot the 108 ELDM but the 105 VLD is a hammer on deer. I have Taken a buck with the 147 ELDM out of my 6.5 SAUM, and it worked great! My brother shoots a 6XC with...

I just went with the Redding Master Hunter die set (Full length sizer and comp seater). I'm really not liking the Hornady brass, but for what I do with it I can't justify throwing it out and buying some Alpha brass. If I was competing it would be a no brainer. For now its mostly used for filling...

Guy, I built my wife a 6mm CM and I shoot the crap out of it. I really like it. Took it out to 1,200 yards a few weeks ago. I have been shooting the 105 VLD out of it for a few years now. My wife has taken 3 bucks with it and they have been very impressive kills. I have tried RL-26 and H4350...

I have run Retumbo and RL-26 with the 265 gr. ABLR. Both shot great, but I preferred the RL-26 load. Think I settled on 87 gr. for 2930 fps. Shoots very well and is an absolute hammer on elk.

I run rl-26 in my father in laws 270 WSM with the 140 AB. I can't remember the charge off the top of my head, but I do remember that out of a 26" tube I'm getting 3280 and tiny little groups. I think it was 67.5 or 68. I know it was under the max.

That is some impressive shooting, well done! My 338 Rum loves RL-26 as well. If I remember right I was running 88.5-89 with the 250 VLD and getting 3,000 fps and great groups out of it. I switched to the 265 ABLR and dropped down to 87 gr. and am pushing them at about 2925. In the RUM case, I...

I run RL-26 in my father in laws 270 WSM with the 140 AB. His has a 26" tube (factory Rem 700 Boone and Crockett Edition) and I am under the Alliant listed max and am getting 3260 fps. I can't remember right off the top of my head what the charge is, I want to say 68gr, but I'm not sure. Please...

I know its not a 5.56, but I was getting right at 3,000 fps with the 70gr. RDF out of a 20" 22 Nolser. The BC seemed accurate to me and I had no trouble running the gongs out to 700 yards. I think you'll be pleased with them from that perspective. If you are using them on game however you might...
