RL 26 and the 6-284
- Thread starter nmkid

During my testing I found that Re-26 was a little too fast for the way I like to reload. I want a full case to eliminate powder position as one of the variables I have to deal with. Re-26 will not fill the case to 100% before I reach peak pressure.
Now, if powder position is not a concern for you, yes you can probably find a decent load with good accuracy, you just won't have a full case. Explaining my choice of loads will make very little difference since there can be significant differences in both velocity and pressure between dissimilar rifles.
I switched to Re-25 since it gave me a full case and very good results for both accuracy and velocity. I do not have the larger swings in temperature that others have to contend with so temperature sensitivity doesn't have much bearing on some of my choices. I also found that Norma MRP2 and IMR-7828 worked to my advantage.
Enjoy the process!

RL 25...Well, I might have to do so 'net looking. Presently I'm using Ramshot Mag with 105 H Bergers. After 80 rounds I feel I'm almost where I want to be but, I don't feel really good about it. Just wondering what else might be out there. Because of the nature of this beast I'm wishfully looking for that big, "aha" found it. Before I shoot half the life of the barrel away.
