b - I've been eyeing Stabill 6.5 for a bit. Of course I cant find any locally but that's another story. I'm headed on a road trip in a couple weeks and will pass by several gunshops. If I can find some, I'll give it a try. Thanks

bsa - I dont see any velocities on those targets but in my mind anything 2600ish with the high BC 200 gr bullets works for me! I'm at or slightly above 2600 with Re16 and suspect I'll be there with H4831 and Re26. Just need to find a recipe that prints as well as yours!

AZ - I have Re19 but have shied away from using both it and 22. I hunt in temps from 0 to 80 and have found velocity swings in both that make me leary. Being this load is for elk in Oct/Nov, I always start with temp insensitive powders. I may load up a couple to see how it goes.

Thanks guys - keep the recipes and ideas coming. I'll post results when I'm done.
