Has anyone tried pushing re 26 in the 2506 with 110 accubond

[kraky1]

The data I am seeing over at Alliant for this powder seems pretty mild in the 2506 based on how far I pushed reloader 22.... if you haven't tried it with the 110 AccuBond have you been able to push the 120s to anything speedy?

I wanted to give Reloader 26 a try with Nosler 115 grain Ballistic Tips. Velocity from my MagnetoSpeed was 3308, 3316 and 3309 for an average of 3311 fps.

Only 8 fps ES, that is not bad at all

Cajun... that is a pretty smoking fast load can you give us a little info on your load and your rifle and guessing a fairly long barrel?

 

[cajun]

The rifle is a T/C Venture with a Nikon Monarch 3 4-16x50. The barrel is 24 inches long. I did shoot 110 accubonds with 60 grains of RL 26 with an average of 3410 FPS. I was running low on accubonds so I started playing with the 115 grain ballistic tips. I found accuracy at 59 grains of RL 26 which produced about 1/2 inch groups. I need to shoot some to make sure this wasn’t a fluke. I posted this info and target on a thread on this forum a few weeks ago if you want to search

I am using it with 100 grain Scirocco's and it does REALLY well. Very darned accurate and fast as well.

 

[kraky1]

The crazy thing is alliant says that 56.6 re 26 is a Max load with a 100 grain bullet. I don't know if alliant has some kind of a fear of the 2506 case or what because I've gone well beyond their reloader 22 data using quick load and a chronograph to get some really good velocity/accuracy with the 110 AccuBond.
Sometimes Alliant drives me crazy they come out with some pretty neat new powders but there data seems pretty whacked... over on another Forum somebody questioned the same data and called Alliant and they said their data is correct and pressure-tested...Hmmm... what's a guy to do...lol!

I agree, I wish they had better data. I wish bullet manufactuer's had some data out on 26 too. I've emailed Nosler and Barnes about it, no dice.
