sean c Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Can't help to much as I've not got mine yet but so far with the research I've done N165 is looking promising. This is with bullets in the 180+gn region though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.T. Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Either N165 or N160 would be the way to go. I use N165 in a 31 inch barrel, so with your shorter barrel N160 might be a better place to start. Saying that, I'm sure either would work well. That's with 180 and 184 grain bullets. For primers, go for murom. They're cheap and awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Allen Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 No I deer would be the one to ask as he’s the current British F class champ and used a SAUM ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Probably help to know if it's target or hunting? Mag fed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meles meles Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Might us take the liberty of recommending bullets from either Berger or MME ? http://mmeriflebullets.co.uk We use 7mm Mistral-T bullets for long range (1 mile) and Reload Swiss powders, usually RS 70, though in a 28" barrel.

Elwood Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 N160 N165 RL 23 RS 62 & 70 With a 26 inch barrel I would be looking at the quicker powders, like N160, RS 62 and RL23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
