I heard R26 was magic in the 7mm Rem Mag and 160-class bullets so when I found some I bought it.
Tikka T3 Lite stainless with a Limbsaver recoil pad.
First off, ow. That SOB is a kicker!
R26 results, Magnetospeed Sporter, two shots each, three charge weights, 3.290" OAL, WLRM primers.
160 AB:
68 gr 3007, second shell wouldn't chamber, I blame Antifa
68.5 gr, 3039, 3042, avg 3040, es 3
69 gr, 3056, 3060, avg 3058, es 4
162 ELDX
68 gr 3036, 3030, avg 3033, es 6
68.5, 3058, 3077, avg 3067, es 19
69 gr, 3092, 3108, avg 3100, es 16
No sticky bolt lift or extraction issues with any charge. I'm going to examine the cases for extractor marks right after I find the rest of my fillings.
