Has anyone tried this combination and what were your results?

No experience yet, but I'm reading 7.5 twist does best.

What length tube?! Damn! Not that it matters really in my world, i have nothing but short barrels. Plan on going shorter. I think i am only at 2800fps with 130’s lol

What's is your load for that speed

 

[jsthntn247]

Peterson’s brass 45.8gr 26” Rock Creek. It’s a winter only hunting load developed at 55 degrees. Wouldn’t try shooting it over 70 degrees as Re 26 is temp sensitive.

Damn, I've been seeing some really high numbers with RE26 and 140s, but this is super impressive for a 156gr bullet. Good call on keeping it below 70.
