    Load for 7saum 162eldm rl26

    Just having a play with the above load
    Only done two three shot groups so far but looking promising with around half moa @100 yards. Haven't chronnied.

    Is anyone else using this load in there saum?
    Looking for jump and powder charge suggestions.

    Currently at 10 thou jump and 63.5 grains

    Cheers G

    From memory around 10thou, but need to check my log book tomorrow. Ran ladder up to 64.2gn and first saw pressure at 63.8gn. Running multiple loads at 63.8 definitely got heavier bolt lift on 2nd & 3rd rounds. At 63.5 stiff bolt lift on 3rd round. Treat with care, your rifle may be different
