I shoot r26 in my 25saum but almost out velocity 3290s want to try n570 any one try it
UPDATE:
I backed it down a 1.2 gr to the next lower node and now I can run it 50 rounds between cleanings without it pressuring up. I run suppressed so alot of times that will require mild loads if you don't want to be forced to clean every 25 rounds.
Off a bipod and NF 4-20 ATACR its averaged .3 moa vertical at 625 yds for the two 6 shot groups Ive done so far to verify it. The 3 shot group at 625 measured 1.4" with .7" vertical. .1" at 100. ES is great. 133@2990 fps in a 22" barrel. Yes I could get more speed with Reloader 26 or n570 but in my experience theyre very dirty when running suppressed and require cleaning every 25 rounds before they velocity migrate or pressure up. For a compact suppressed deer/antelope setup it doesn't get any better than this in my opinion. Ill be limiting my shots on game to 800 and in. Reticle doesn't really leave the 625 yd target during recoil.

I played with N160 and 110 accubonds yesterday just looking at speeds. Ran to pressure signs at the upper numbers though. I'm testing a few powders looking for speed, then I'll work on fine tuning when I find the fastest. This is a hunting rig and I want to be a fast as possible for S&Gs.
Keep in mind my 25saum is an improved with 40 degree shoulder.

What is your source of RL26? The possibility of obtaining a future supply is questionable. Why base your load on this?
