Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Finally found some Reloader 26

After at least 2 years of looking for some more Reloader 26 I found two 8 pound jug for me and one for a friend at a normal for today prices. My 30-06, 7 rem mags and 300 prc can squirt bullets for quite a while. There is hope that it will make a come back on store shelves again. Instead of gunbroker’s inflated $1000 a jug or $200 plus a pound.
Now I don’t have to be concerned about working up a load and putting it to work. Ken

Natchezss had some yesterday for a very short time, at $368 per 8 lb - before shipping and hazmat.

I paid $321.00 plus 7% tax each

It's all I use in my 6.5 CM with 143 eldx...pretty impressive groups.

What's your load with that combo, Remington280?
Thanks,
Rex

Wondering the same thing

I used Speer’s 140gr online load data to work up a 143 eldx load. Made 2,750fps +/- from a 21” Bergara tube and about 2,650 from an 18” Sig Cross. Accurate in both. There’s a long 6.5CM load thread somewhere on the load forum with more details.

I used 46.5 grains with the 147 ELD for 2775 in Alpha Brass with a CCIBR2. That was out of a Tikka.

It’s in the most accurate loads for my 300 Weatherby Mag, third most accurate in 300 Winchester Mag and 1st and 2nd most accurate in my 7mm Rem Mag. Average of 3 ea 5 shot groups
I’ll be working with RE26 in my 280AI this summer hopefully.

I'm sitting on 25 pounds of it... When powders were edging up to $30 a pound at Sportsman Whorehouse...

They constantly had RL 26 on the shelves, and it wasn't moving. So every time I went into one of their stores here in Oregon, I'd pick up a pound of it, for the price of $22.

Gave a good campfire friend , three pounds of it, and another two pounds of it to a local friend.

that is why I am down to 25 pounds of it...and NO its not for sale...

I stocked up before it got discovered...

As did I

Just out of curiosity, where did you find it for this price?

It is the best powder I have loaded in my 300 Weatherby.
