    Has anyone tried these bigger projectiles at a stump 2.820OAL or similar?

    Im happy with 162gr weight, and like mag fit (im limited in a model 7), but never hurts to have back burner projects so to speak. I have rl26 to try, wondering if a 180 going that bit slower has abit more further out to give. Definately no issue with 162gr!

    I ran the 180 eldm in a short action. 2.950” oal and 55gr of 2209. 2800 fps and it was an absolute hammer. It could have gone faster but the Bertram brass was my concern. That was a 24” barrel
