It's the real deal, went to the range today with a Steyr 6.5X55 and the LabRadar says it is 100 FPS higher than RL-19, RL-22 and VV550. was surprised to see 2840 - 2850 out of 20" barrel. The others were low 2700's which was what I thought I would see. This was with 130-140g bullets. 130g AccuBonds for the RL-26. The 139g Scenars were the most accurate, but the RL-26 load was within a 1/4".
