So, I'm on the Alliant site looking up data, and all I can find is data using R16 powder for the 120-140 hunting bullets that I shoot. Nothing on R26 that some of you are talking about.

My question.......who has used R16, and what results did you get?

Berger shows loads with RL26 45 grains to 49.8 for 2977 with their 135 Classic Hunter. Just yesterday 47 grains of RL 26 and a Barnes 127 LRX @ 2.800 gave me 2915 FPS and 3/4 inch 5 shot groups in my Creed. JME!


I have never seen the need for the Barnes, for deer, but that is a great load for the 127. It is what I would use, if I was going to hunt elk with the Creed.


You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
