Would be interested in additional comments/experiences with some of the newer powders such as Re26 with 145/150gr bullets ..




Both R26 and R25 loaded the same for me with 140's at 69 grains CCI 250 primer and Winchester brass, work up to this especially with different bras as some of it is much thicker. Good for 3,200 fps in my 24" barreled feather weight.

I really like the outfit a lot but would not trade in a good 270 Win. for the WSM. Mine is in a McMillan feather weight pattern edge stock. At some pont I may put on a skinnier faster twist barrel but not in a big hurry to do that.
