Only 8 fps ES, that is not bad at all

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

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.
