26 Nosler load help

[Thesteeleboy]

I just finished two 26 Nosler, One rifle is still waiting for funds for a new stock but has been bedded in this cheap one none the less. The foundation's are blueprinted Remington action and bolt. I used a Badger ordinance heavy recoil lug, A 30" Bartlein 5R 1:8 twist barrel, the reamer was S.A.M.I. spec's. Breaking it in I shot some 129gr and 142gr Nosler long range factory loads. I wasn't impressed at all with the factory loads { 1" } group at best, so its now time to work up some loads. Has anyone shot the Hornady ELD-X, Berger 130gr-140gr through the 26. I know I will need some real slow powder for that big case and long barrel like Retumbo, 50 BMG, RL-50. Temperature stability is real important to mein a powder. I would love to hear from any one with some 26 Nos experiance. Thanks
