I played around with RL-26 in my 280 AI last night with the 150 ABLR. I started at 60.5 Gr and worked up to 62. I'm running WLRM primers, Nosler brass and 3.350". 61 gr gave me a nice .75" triangle group doing about 3040 fps. both 61.5 and 62 gave me two in the same hole and one about an...

That is a darn fine group. I might have to give RL-26 a shot in mine.

Fotis your rifle seem to be shooting every bit as good as they look. Beautiful!

I'm not sure off the top of my head but from the looks of things, and the history with those bullets in this gun I need to move them back a bit.

I played with 7828ssc in mine last week with the 168 ABLR. 59 gr shot really well and gave me 2900 fps with single digit ES from a 24" barrel. Shot better than RL-22 or RL 23. I'm using Nosler brass and WLRM primers.

I have a buddy that is running 68 gr of RL26 our of a 24" barreled 7 mag with the 168 ABLR. He is getting decent groups, and running just a hair over 3,000 fps. I do not believe that this load is compressed. Might be worth a shot.

I had a 6.5/7SAUM built on a Savage 12. It weighs about 11.5 lbs as pictured. I'm running a 26" Benchmark barrel. It shoots really well! I'm sitting at nearly 300 rounds down it, and believe I have a lot of life left. I'm not pushing it to hard, and getting 3093fps with the 140 VLD. and I was...

They hold together fine. My buck this year was 80 yards. Put it right on the shoulder, in all honesty one of the cleanest kills/wounds channels I have ever seen. I will admit I was supremely shocked at how cean it was and that it exited out the offside shoulder.

yep

I think I'm running 62.5 with H4831. I can't remember what it was with 7828SSC. Right around there. Start low and work up to those. RP Brass 210 Primer 3.335"

I shoot them in mine. They shoot very well. They are more finicky than any other butler I have ever tried in that rifle, but I was able to get them to shoot, I had ok luck with RL-22, good luck with 7828ssc, and ended up settling with H4831. Getting right around 3050. I was never able to get...

I'm pretty sure that these will result in a super light build in 6.5 SAUM! Should be able to push them in the 3100-3200 range out of my 26" heavy 6.5/7SAUM. If the BC holds up, this will spank my 280 AI with a 150gr or 168 gr ABLR!

My brother smoked a cow elk with a 168 ABLR out of his 284 Win. Worked well. Not much reaction to the first shot (Double lung shot @ 350 yards) she wheeled around and he put another in her as she was running off. The second was a bit far back. He is pushing the @ 2820 fps. We recovered one of...

I have had great luck with it in my 280 AI, 6.5 SAUM, 243 when I had it, 270 Weatherby, and in my 338 RUM. My favorite thing about 7828 is that I seem to always be able to find it.

.338 250gr. ABLR!

This guy didn't seem to mind being smacked with a 375R. I say GO FOR IT!

I stacked up a lot of deer with a .243 and a 85gr Speer when I was young. Killed just as well as most anything else I have used since.

Nice Photo Guy. Being that he is sitting on top of a ridge, and I'm assuming that I would have to pack him back towards the camera, I'm breaking both shoulders, and dumping him right there. More than likely it would be with a 225 AB out of my 338 RUM, or a 200 ET out of my 338 WM. If the...

The H380 sure worked great in my 22-250!

Nice work buddy! I had pretty decent luck with RL-17 and the 225 AB in my 338 WM. I was getting right in the 2890 range. That rifle of your is one heck of a rifle for sure. Seems to shoot about everything well. Hope you get a chance to introduce it to an Oregon elk this fall.
