Found a couple of older threads on use of Re 23 and 26 in the 30-06 with various 200 gr bullets. Still not much data on these 2 powders but various Quickload links seem to indicate 58 gr for Re 23 and 62 gr Re 26 under various 200 gr bullets at velocities of 2650ish for 23 and 2700ish for 26 in 24 inch barrels.

With a drop tube, I can get 58 of 23 and 61 of 26 in a case with reasonable powder compression.

I'm trying to reach 2650 safely and good groups. So far Re16 has been the accuracy champ and reaches 2600. I'm going to explore Re 16 a bit more but am still looking for the best load. I'm also playing with H4831 but 59 and 60 grains take some compression to work.

Anyone have any real world experience with Re23 or Re26 in the 30-06 with 200 grainish bullets?

Thanks.
