I found reloader26 in stock today but man was it expensive! $55 per pound and $405 for an 8# jug! I was down to half a pound and feeding four rifles so I caved in and bought the 8# jug. Now if some 6.5 bergers would show up!

When it worked so damn good in the Creed and the PRC I decided I’d get it when I seen it. Have 26# stashed away ready to go. Now the 7 mag loves it so WIN-WIN for me.

and to think when it was launched, all the Sportsman's Warehouses around here were selling it at $22.00 a pound, and like $125.00 or something in that range for the 8 pound ones... I'd buy one every time I was in their stores....I think I ended up giving 10 to 12 pounds of it away to fellow campfire members or local friends here in Oregon...
Still got a bunch of it... and like anything else I got that will make a gun go bang.... nope it ain't for sale...

Ph uck for $405 bucks I would’ve found another powder to use.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to feed your rifle but I wouldn't have paid 405 dollars for it. I bought all the powder and primers I'll ever need for my rifles during the Trump years.

I waited out VV N550 & N165. Took a long while but I got 12# each when the price was down..........as much as it was going to get.

Another boring nonstory today. 60.5 grains RL 26 behind a 150 NP in my 270 Winlite. 3/4 in for 3 shots at 2980. Just like everybody else said it would. Hard to argue with results like that.

IMR 7977 is a great substitute for RL 26.
Gets about 50 fps less but is not temp sensitive and gets better accuracy in everything I burn it in.

I did not find the magic in RL26 with my 270 win using 150 gr bullets.
Performed parallel to a couple other powders I use.
Just my gun I guess.

It’s my go to powder in my 300 Weatherby and 300 Winchester both with 200 grain Nosler Partitions.
I used to use H1000 in my 300 Winchester - it’s still the second best powder in that rifle.
I prefer classic.
