I've been looking locally for some RL26 to try for the past few months with no luck. Would like to try this powder in my 300 RUM and for another Kimber Montana 7 WSM that I'm about to have put together.

What are you loads in the 7mm WSM? Powder weight, accuracy & barrel length.
I shoot a 7WSM and have been looking for some to try. It looks amazing according to Alliant web site. Have you had a chance to try imr 7977 in the 7
WSM? I think this might be a good powder too.

62.0 grains of RL 26 will just physically fit into my new 270 Win Nosler brass. The book max load of 61.8 is into the case neck. That long sleek LRAB is a good powder compressor.

41rem,
Do you have any velocities or accuracy to report with that load?

Shooting 140 Berger VLD's in the 6.5x55 and burning RL26 OAL 3.150
50.0 grains .... 2,794
51.0 grains .... 2,856
52.0 grains .... 2,914
No "classic" signs of pressure, easy extraction.

Does anyone know if 26 is temperature sensitive in the swede with the 140 berger?
Thanks

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
