    I wouldn't say humming but my Sako is only 20" and they are doing 2777fps with the 143ELDX and 142 Nosler LRAB with RL26

    That's going pretty well for a smallish case!

    40gr of AR2209 0.05 off the lands doing 2520 fps out of a 20" barrel and grouping 0.467 MOA with 5-shot groups. Can hit a 20x20cm steel plate out to 500m 8x out of 10 with this load from the bipod simulating hunting conditions so no sandbags, etc. - and I am not a good shooter. The 135gr A-Tip doing slightly better with 43gr AR2209 but haven't chono them yet for speed or drop chart.

    //Edit
    Rifle is a Bergara HMR

    Hey all good there mimms2, I thought you were going to tell me you had the holy grail load for the RPR.

    Workshop Innovation.
    Haven't shot anything living with it yet as still working up a load that ideally will fit the magazine. With the 0.05 jump they are way too long but they group well.

    He might have..

    I think he might be having a little dig - the correct answers to your original question are either "Yes" or "No".
    For your second question you should ask what the loads are especially to anyone who answered yes to your first one.

    Looks like I have a load that's in the same brass rifle projectile and powder that works well so will give that a burst
    Thanks to the people that have contributed I will let ya know the results.
