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

I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

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.
Now with even more aplomb

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

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

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...
