I have had the 26 nosler in hells canyon speed for about a year now. I'm running 140 grain accubonds 86 grains of us869 nosler brass and federal primers, and it's less that 1/2 moa. also fun to shoot with the brake.

Pretty much a do-all rifle there !  Nice.  Bet its a nice shooter with the break and 7mm too.

Great looking rifle. Bet she shoots lights out. Great scope too, that's probably what I'm topping my 300 with

Miles,
A version of a typical break in

Clean
1 shot - clean
1 shot - clean
1 shot - clean
1 shot - clean
3 shots - clean
3 shots - clean
3 shots - clean

Letting the barrel cool between shots and clean it hard with a bore snake

Then I'll start doing 3 shot groups with different bullets and clean in between to see what she likes. I have 6 different bullets to try today. LUCKILY I ONLY HAD TO BUY 4 BOXES

180 grain Remington ultra coreloks
180 grain Hornady Interlocks
180 grain Federal TBT
180 grain Winchester XP3
190 grain Nosler Accubond LR
200 grain Federal Edge TLR

and then I have a buddy putting together some handloads for me with
180 Accubonds
180 Partitions
190 Accubond LR


Nothing too special but its what Ive always done

A lot of guys will go to 3  at 5 shot after the 3 shot series before grouping :dunno:
