26 nosler load suggestions...

[Coloradoboy]

Decided to add on to my 6.5mm collection and picked up a 26 nosler. Ive been a big fan of the 143 grain eld-x but ive read that guys are having trouble with them fouling at high velocities.. im between the 142 grain nosler ABLR and the berger vld 140 grainer. Thinking of trying retumbo,rl33 or h1000. Anyone have any suggestions for a starting point?
Thanks in advance guys@

And a .33 too Bess. To the OP, ask this question in the firearms forum. mtmuley

A article I was reading about the 26 Nosler. They said they liked the Barnes 127 grain Lrx

I think i might just have to get in the lab and figure it out. Reloading data is pretty slim. I think i can figure out something out before i burn the barrel out haha

Get yourself some US869 or 50bmg! Those are the go to powders for heavy bullets in the 26.

I shoot 87.5gr of US869 with a 140gr Vld out of my browning and shooting .5 to .75" groups at 3260 fps
