Anybody work with this powder?
I pressure tested LRT in my 30 Sherman Mag with the 215 bergers. LRT, N570, and rl26 all produced near identical velocities. Also did a vague test with LRT that revealed it is pretty temperature sensitive.I like the spherical aspect of it and thinking of the 300 WM heavyweights
I have been using it in mt .300wm in the Bergara LRT 87.5 gr. 215 M Match Federal primer and Hornay's 220 gr. ELD X,2950 to 2995 25 ' from the muzzle,lee neck die 1/2 groups at 100 ,but bangs ya ,put Bergara's self timing break on and much more soft and still 1/2 " groups,primers are round 1 hand bolt lift. hardheadGood stuff, I will keep on back burner UNLESS I can't get H1000 or RL26. I have enough RL26 for my .270 with 156HH which is my primary need right now. LRT just looks interesting to me.
I used 26 in my .300,not quite the same results as LRT ,and you can not find it around here,LRT came available ,tried it,have about 10#'s when its gone the gilt edge Accuracy will be gone,maybe sooner then time to move on,hardheadI have been using it in mt .300wm in the Bergara LRT 87.5 gr. 215 M Match Federal primer and Hornay's 220 gr.
