bsa1917hunter Campfire 'Bwana B Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 48,017 Battle Born	Originally Posted by Mule Deer Alliant doesn't list any RL-26 loads for bullets under 150 grains for the .270. It might be too slow-burning to get enough in the case for decent velocities with lighter bullets, but they also don't list any loads for Reloder 23 with bullets less than 150 grains. I tried 26 with some other 150-grain bullets this morning. 61 grains with Partitions is a little warm, judging from the muzzle velocity of close to 3100 fps, so I'm going to back it down to 60, but it was about right with 150-grain Long Range AccuBond. Damn, that's intriguing. Is that with a 24" barrel? Next time I see some at the LGS, I'm snagging some.. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Berger has tested RL23 and RL26. They provided me with the min/max load data for the 168 VLD. Their max load for rl 26 was too hot for my rifle.

What are you seeing in the 25 and 300 Wby with it? In the .25/06 it's getting 3340 fps from a 24" barrel. The .300 Wby with a 26" barrel it's getting 3216 fps. Don't remember the accuracy with the above loads,but they're good enough for me,if that helps.
