I can get Re16 easier than 26 locally. Last time I ran into both, on different occasions, I bought 4 lbs of each - or all they had. I'm good for a while because it will only get loaded for hunting loads. At ~ 70 rounds per pound, I doubt I'll use 280 rounds between sight-in and game shot over the next 10 years. I have a bit more testing to do with Re16 in my latest 30-06 but initial loads are MOA. If it stays there, I'll search for an 8lber of each - my 270 loves Re 26.

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
