Those are some pretty impressive numbers for a 270/150's. 7Mag argument or not.

The 95 grain 243 is scooting right along as well.

150 Gr Nosler Part. Seconds with crimp groove.
60 GR RP 26 3054 FPS, 60.5 3065 FPS, 61 3085 FPS. For an interesting comparison I shot RL26 and 150 grain Nosler Partitions in the 280 Rem today. Ruger No 1-A 22" barrel Norma brass Rem 9 1/2 primer coal 3.25 60.0 grains at 3,016 61.0 grains at 3,065 62.0 grains at 3,100 even. Not even a smidgen of classic pressure signs. Wish I had some 28/160s to try. I'm guessing they'll do 3,000.

That is some fine performance out of the .280 as well.

Anybody tried R26 in a 243AI with a 95 gr bullet yet?
Figure if it will work that well in a 243 it might be good in an AI.
Going to try and get some 270 150 gr bullets after work today as all I have are 130's.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Anybody tried R26 in a 243AI with a 95 gr bullet yet? Nope As a reference point I worked up to 49gr. with the plain jane .243 and 95, Nosler BT, Partitions, SST's and Berger Hybrid hunter. I haven't run them on the chronograph yet just shot for max charge weight but I am betting North of 3,100 fps. No pressure signs at all but a good stopping point.

Having just returned from running a few rounds from a Ruger #1-A 270 downrange, I have to say that RL26 seems to be somewhat less 'smokeless' than numbers like 4350 and 4831. I don't know it that's related to the decoppering compounds that are added, or if there's another factor involved. It does shoot well with the Hornady spire points I've been shooting though.

RL 26 in my 243 Win 22" RP Cases CCI Primer 47 GR RL 26 105 GR A Max 3063 FPS .68 " 4 shot group.
RL 26, 47.2 gr 1.2" and ejector marks on 1 case. 3105 FPS. Reducing to hot !
Reducing to 46.8 gr and see if I can keep accuracy. First time I have seen 3K with 105 gr in this rifle.
Tried RL 26 in my 24 " 280 Rem it does not like the 150 gr Nosler Ballistic tip but I have lots.
RP case , Rem 9 1/2 primer, 150 N BT, 59 gr 3015 FPS 3" group, 59.5 Gr 3.3 " group 3003 FPS, 60 Gr 3035 FPS 4.6" group, 60.5gr 1.6" no excess pressure signs.

Just in from the range...
270 Win Kimber MT 22.5" Barrel
RL26
Federal Virgin Brass
Fed 210 M
150 Nosler Partition
3.297" OAL / .020" Off Lands
3 Qty @ 59.5 = 3,051 fps. Extraction ok. 1.670" Group
3 Qty @ 60.0 = 3,093 fps. Extraction getting stiffer. 1.930" Group.
I Had another 3 Qty loaded at 60.5 but didn't fire them.
I plan on backing off to 58.0, 58.5, and 59.0 and see what results I get. If something looks promising I'll play with seating depth.
Certainly seems to be a quick powder with the 150's... speed alone without accuracy holds no appeal to me, but if I can run at 2,950+ with good accuracy I'd be pleased.
More later...

That's doable with several powders other than '26. MM

Brad,
In my rifle (a Featherweight Classic) 3-shot groups with 150 Partitions are averaging .8 with 60.5 grains, and a little over 3000 fps from the 22" barrel. The primer is the F210 but the brass is Winchester from maybe 4-5 years ago, which tends to run thinner (but harder) than Federal cases. So far haven't run into stiff bolt lift at velocities up to 3100 fps. How much do your Federal cases weigh?

John, the Federal cases are around 180 gr's, my WW cases are around 186 gr's., which surprised me.
