FYI-- Went out shooting a FIERCE FIREARMS rifle yesterday chambered in 26Nosler..carbon fiber barrel, titanium action, carbon fiber stock..topped with Swarovski Z5 3-18 Scope..A friend picked it up a few weeks ago and had me work up some loads.. I tried factory ammo while breaking in the barrel..shot about 1" groups..shot 140 Berger VLD Hunting..using Retumbo powder--one groups was 1/2" the other was not so great..went to using 129Gr Nolser Accubond Long Range..very good group at about 1/4" 3 shot group at 100 yards..velocity was about 3228fps Read an article in a magazine some time ago about using US869 Powder..tried it behind 130 Swift Scirroco..loaded to about 3300+fps...again, very good group..3/8" at 100yards..3 shot..thinking once a guy settles down and makes the small adjustments, will certainly have a 1/4" shooting hunting rig..nice shooting rifle, was impressed with the machining on the gun..fit and finish is really good.. The speeds shown above are NOT pushing this very hard..I tried some similar loads last year for another friend and was getting 3400fps+ with 130's and 3275-3300 with the 140's...but going more for accuracy this time around Ripp |
