26 Nosler Loads

[clark33]

Anyone have any pet 26 Nosler loads? I have an MOA Rifle Evolution, 26" benchmark barrel. I have been testing the 140 Berger Elites with retumbo and H1000. Seated 0.020" off lands and can't find a powder charge it seems to like, will get 2-3 clover leafed then it'll string the next 2 opening the groups up.

I'm taking 3-4 min between shots to let this burner cool down a bit. I am considering trying the 129 or 142 ABLR if I can find them. Have always had good luck with the Accubonds in other rifles.

I'm interested in the powder, charge, and you distance from lands. Any advice, help would be awesome. A little over 100 rounds thru this very expensive rifle and I havent gotten it to group under 1 MOA at 100 so far.

Thanks

The Nosler manual shows their best loads with US869 which I am using in my 6.5-300 Wby. Maybe try seating your bullets deeper.

I seem to have good luck with the regular ABs seated from .050 and even deeper. I just had a rifle that wanted a .130 jump to pull them tight. YMMV. :grin:
I'm no help on the ABLRs though, sorry.
