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.
 
Here is the LRX info. Couldn’t find anything on the 120 gr E-Tip

Cartridge : .26 Nosler
Bullet : .264, 127, Barnes 'LRX'BT 30228
Useable Case Capaci: 90.130 grain H2O = 5.852 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.340 inch = 84.84 mm
Barrel Length : 26.0 inch = 660.4 mm
Powder : Alliant Reloder-33 *C

Predicted data by increasing and decreasing the given charge,
incremented in steps of 2.0% of nominal charge.
CAUTION: Figures exceed maximum and minimum recommended loads !

I don’t see the LRT listed...but I don’t have the 120 gr. E-Tip listed in my version, either...
 
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.
