[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1270764, member: 33822"] I was able to find a pound of RL-26 and got out today to see what it would do with the Berger 250 EH. I loaded .008 jump to the lands which only holds about .1 - .125 of the base of the bullet in the neck. I was using brand new unfired Nosler brass and the GM215M. Don't have any data for this combo so I used data for RL-25, and because I know my barrel pressures up fast I still started out pretty low at 86.0 grains and loaded up to 95.0 grains in 1 grain increments. 86.0 got 2872 FPS. I started to see some slight ejection marks around 93.0 grains which got 3144 fps. Bolt started to get sticky right at 95.0 grains at 3204 FPS. Pretty crazy veocity for a 250gr bullet in a 338 RUM. Going to shoot tomorrow with 89.0, 90.0 and 91.0 tomorrow and see how they group. [/QUOTE]
