I'm in '17 Mode,due the boring consistency...................

Messed with both of them, then settled on 17. The BIL has done some amazing stuff with H4831. I moly and he doesn’t, if that matters.

Using R26 in the 243AI of late with 105g BTHPs. I’m really liking the accuracy and speed, though I don’t chase top speeds as a rule.

I've yet to see a can of 26 on a shelf.

I've yet to see a can of 26 on a shelf.

I burned it all in my .300 Win Mag....grin.


I like the accuracy I get with RL-16 in my Fieldcraft Creedmoor, but I don't have any velocity numbers yet.

I'm still playing with RL16. 40.6 gr was an accuracy node in my 6.5 Creed (26" barrel) with Alpha brass. Speed was 2712. I'd like to get close to 2,800fps.

John,

I've been using 47.8 gr RL-26 in my 22" .260 with Lapua brass, 200's and 147 ELD's at 2,770 fps.

I reluctantly switched from H4350 when it became hard to find.

17 was great until the temps started to climb.

Can't say I'd wanna switch back at this point as 26 has proven to be rather temp stable.
