Working up my 1st batch of 270 Win loads. Using Nosler brass 150 grain LRAB & Fed 210m. Hopefully get 3000+ fps & sub MOA from my new 25" barrel with decent working pressure.
Anyone trying this powder in a non magnum case?

Working with it in a 25-06. So far, I have great accuracy with 52 gr and a 117 SGK out of a 22" barrel. Velocity wasn't that great so I've run it up to 54 gr with the same accuracy but still not up to the velocity level I would expect from the -06. Max is 57 gr so another trip to the range is planned.

Bbear, what was your actual velocity compared to your estimated velocity?

At 52 grains it was a 'whoppin' 2600 fps. Haven't had a chance to run the 54 grain load over the magnetospeed yet. Still have some to put down the tube up to the 57gr max load. At 57 grains I would expect around 3100 or so.
I've also tried it in a magnum case (264 win) but never had the accuracy I was looking for so I never ran it over the chrony.

I think you will find it to be the "real deal". Tried in a
6.5x284 with new Lapua brass, CCI 250,Berger 140VLD (touching)
in a 26" barrel for 3123 avg. The other benefit is it is supposed to be temp. insensitive. Previously used Retumbo in
another barrel with same components for less than 3000fps.

Using RL-26 in my FN Mauser .270 and it's getting 3010 fps average with a 150 gr NP from a 22" barrel.
