For those interested, picked up a copy of HANDLOADER MAGAZINE last week that has a test on the 26NOSLER done by Barsness..his results were similar to mine thus far as to accuracy and velocity, however he was using Nosler bullets while I have been using the Swift Scirocco. I feel the accubond will NOT withstand those velocities at close range--"under 150 yards"...further out yes, from 300 and on once the bullet has slowed a bit..

I tried similar velocities at one point while in Africa out of my 300RUM..bad results on numerous animals ..and that was shooting 180AB's at 3370 fps....the 26Nosler I have is putting them out with my current loads at 3400 and above ...Magnum powder seems to be the powder of choice at this point..
