I'm in the process of loading a number of different bullets with RL-16.
BTW, I weighed 47 gr. RL-26, dropped it in a 6.5 Creed case, came up to the shoulder, none in the neck. So, maybe some of the stories about RL-26 in the CM aren't that bizarre. That powder must be really dense, allowing a full charge to fit in a smaller case. 143 and 147 ELD's are long bullets, would compress that charge somewhat. I have RL-23 also, so who knows what combos I may come up with.
DF
I think 23 is actually a touch bulkier than 26 DF, at least in the few cartridges I've loaded to compare it to.
My Swede lets me seat 140's out pretty long but I will report back with what the 147's look like. I wouldn't suspect I'd have much trouble getting enough in there to make it sing though.
