I've reloaded for three 270wsm barrels. Reloder 26 is THE powder for 150gr bullets. I'm even using it for 140gr now.Has anyone ever tried reloader 33 in a 270wsm I've been thinking about trying it with 150 Berger's
What was your starting load for rl26 for the 270 WSM with a 150 gr. And what kind of velocities were you seeing out of themI've reloaded for three 270wsm barrels. Reloder 26 is THE powder for 150gr bullets. I'm even using it for 140gr now.
Feel free to try rl33, let us know how it shoots. My guess is you might not get enough in to produce pressure unless your chamber is throated long...but you're sure to have one heck of a muzzle blast!
I don't think you'll find RL26 anywhere so check out N565.
Thanks for the information I'll definitely be giving it a try how was the accuracy. I've tried several other different powders over the years never really achieved the velocity I wanted and the accuracy that I was desiring but I'll definitely give the rl26 try. ThanksStart at 64gr in .6gr increments stop when you reach desired accuracy. I really don't want to tell you my velocity but truly impressive.
I only use standard large rifle primers, 210m or br2. Never ever need magnum primers even in sub zero temps.

RL 26 is even a touch slow. Same with Retumbo, can't get enough in there. IMR 7977 is just about right imo.
Yes.Way too slow for this case and bullet.
But if you stuff one of the Berger 170 gr. Elite Hunters in that case set to magazine length and you have a winner using a full case of Re-33.
Re-25/26 are both perfect for this case and bullet combination. Retumbo is too slow and 7977 deprives you of 100 - 150 fps.
Since Re-26 is hard to find, try the Re-25 or Norma MRP or even H-1000. VVN-565 is right in that same category and should work great also. I haven't loaded any of it in this case yet.![]()

and I have a good stash of RL26.
My 7977 speeds uncompressed matched my full case velocity with RL26 with 145 ELD and 150 VLD.
