RIght around 2690 from a 24" should be an accuracy node with RL16. You should get there in the low 50s in terms of charge weight depending on lot, case, primer, etc.
I'd rather have the temp stability of RL16 than the extra 50 ft/s and crazy pressure ramp up in the heat of RL26. But that's just me.
In terms of 200gr bullets the Terminal Ascent is exceptional. The Accubond might be a 2nd choice. The A-Frame has very good terminal performance but different load data and pretty high drag.
RL 26 is very temperature stable. And since when do you find broad spectrum accuracy nodes?
