AS: Thanks for posting that. Interesting data.
You're right it's not easy to get 65 gr RL25 in a 270 case...but I did it. There was a lot of crunching when I seated those Barnes blue bullets.
I have to admit to being a little apprehensive when I started shooting because the load was so heavily compressed. But my impression was that the heavier bullets would work better. Still I guess i have to say the stuff works with 130's.
My LGS had some RL26 last time I was there,but I didn't buy any because I still have 4-5 pounds of 25 to eat through first. It has been a good powder in both the 7 Rem mag with 150's.
Thinking back it must have been 8-10 years ago that I tried the RL25...that Barker article was October 2004.....I am pretty sure i followed Barker's lead on using that powder in the 270.
