What would be a good starting point with RL26 in a 7 SAUM with 160 grain Accubonds?
I was hoping someone else would take a stab at this but here's how I'd figure it.
I think 62 grains was about the top end of the range with a 150 Scenar. So if I was starting over from scratch with the 150 Scenar I'd load up a few rounds each at 60, 61, and 62.
The 160 is about 7% heavier than the 150, and the Scenar has a longer boat tail and longer ogive than the regular Accubond so the Accubond's bearing surface is longer than the Scenar's which means more pressure with the same amount of powder.
So with that and other unknowns, I'd bump the 7% up to 10% and drop down 10% from the starting charge (60 grains) for the 150, and load a few at 54, 55, and 56 to start.
At least that's what I'd do. Either that or find someone to run quickload for you.
