No barrel cooling needed.

Running 2950 out of my PRC, these bullets took a small bull elk, 2 nice mule deer and 3 Black Bears in 2019. Ranges were 175 to over 400 yds.
several were drt, nothing made it over 25yds.
I couldn’t ask for much better performance.

I’ll be running them out a 6.5 Sherman this fall. They performed great out of a 6.5-06 last year so I’ll see how things are with another 150fps behind them.

Unclericco,

What powder are you running in the 26 Nosler that is producing a load you like with these. I tried US869 and retumbo, just picked up some N570 to try.

Was getting ready to build a 6.5 SAUM but wanted to run the 156 Berger’s so opted to swap to an XM length action to maximize my handload capability with it. Going to have a 20” proof sendero 7.5 twist when the time comes. Heard mixed reviews on the 156, but predominantly seen good success from others.
