I am , 28” Bartlein Heavy Palma on TL3
150s are 3050
140s are 3140
Extremely accurate with both
I’m actually selling the barrel and dies
Have about 230 rounds on it ... 175 were FF with 130s at 2800.

Basically exact same results as Seandradamus here.
Those were the accuracy nodes for me, could go 50-60fps+ faster if I stepped on the brass. Could easily surpass 3200fps with the 140's with R26/Norma brass 28" bbl. I prefer Retumbo for the cooler powder burn.

Last time out at 1365yds with the 150grSMK/Retumbo had me smiling for days- beautiful waterline.

Any more info on this cartridge? Sherman boasts the barrel life will be a minimum of 2500 rounds.

So it's not true where he says 130 eldm's at 2900 fps get accuracy in the .1's?

What kind of bullets and how's the accuracy?

 

[Gil P.]

Huh? Not sure how you got there. What I was saying is that I don't think you're likely to get 2500rds at peak accuracy unless you're running 6.5 Creedmoor speeds.

I'm shooting 147's at 3000 - 3050. Shooting sub 1" groups at 300yds most of the time.

I misunderstood your post, sorry about that.

How well does it feed through magazines, and which action are you using?

Just did some load development today was able to get up to 3012 with the 140 Berger elite hunter. This was very surprising for. 20” barrel found a good node at 2936 which is a good bit below where I found pressure. It produced a 3/8” group at 100
