I have an off the shelf Remington Sendero. 26” barrel. Not sure of the Case capacity. But I using WWC 95. My COAL is 3.478. CBTO is 2.796. Which is about .100 off the lands.
I seem to have found a node at 2800 to 2850 fps…. Between 72.5 and 73.0.
Thx

With the Data your provided above, at 73gr of RL-26 you are on OBT node #5.5
Max pressure is 53,000 PSI well below 62,000 PSI

You can try 74.9gr of RL-26 to be on node #5, MV is 2925fps
Please report back your findings

RL-26 is a perfect match for the 300 WM with a 210gr bullet, not too fast at all.
It's similar to H1000 which I use 73.5 grs under a 200 gr ELD-X which spits out of a 24" barrel at 2880 fps.

Thx for the information. I’ll work the loads up over the next few weeks and report back.
