Anyone have a Hodgdon Data Manual, 26th Edition?
If so, could you forward the 6.5x68S data via a PM?
Thank you, Nathanial

These are all MAX loads and are all for H4831 (the only loads listed in the #26 manual):
77 grn bullet - 75.0, 3812 fps
87 grn bullet - 73.0, 3705 fps
100 grn bullet - 71.0, 3547 fps
120 grn bullet - 68.0, 3309 fps
140 grn bullet - 63.0, 2993 fps
The manual also advised that starting loads for the .264 WIN MAG can be used in the 6.5x68mm.

Pardon the ignorance, but what makes Hodgdon #26 so special?

Pardon the ignorance, but what makes Hodgdon #26 so special? A ton of various cartridges covered with data for Hodgdon, Winchester, Alliant and IMR powders. They would sell a mess of them if they came back out with a #27 of similar content.

When I finally got a 6.5x68S built it comes up missing. Was my favorite also but cannot be found after the move.

My copy of the Hodgdon #26 has a copyright date of 1992 and a 2nd Printing date of May 1, 1993. I bought my first copy when they were published and later gave it to a friend when I bought a copy of the loose leaf #27. Too late I realized the #27 was not nearly as comprehensive as the #26; but I got lucky and found a nearly new copy of #26 at a gunshow in Topeka KS in 2001 for $15.00.

That and Lyman # 47 also!
If I could only have two manuals.. it would be Lyman 47 and Hodgdon # 26..
