Well I never have. I have used about 20 lbs or it in two 6.5CMs and two 300 WSMs. With 140s in the 6.5CM and 180s in the 300 WSMs. Can run then at 100% case fill and that is with the bullet set longer than SAAMI max COL.
Speed is not is biggest benefit but accuracy and temp stability sure are. I can get both cartridges to factory speeds for most ammo. Federal 300 WSM 180 ammo runs at 2930 to 2960 and I can get 2950 easy and on a good node with 64 GR H4350 and a 185 Berger. MY CM runs at 2740 with 42.6 Grs. of H4350 and a 140 AMax. The powder is so predictable and I get low SD. That is why I always go back to it, after trying some of the faster powders.

I was referring to the reloader 26. H4350 has been great for me in all temps and very accurate in my creedmoor.
LOL. Well the "anti copper" trait seems to be pretty over exaggerated....
Has anyone tried RL 26 in a 6.5 PRC?
Pretty Close!
And no doubt I could get well over 3000 fps....there are no pressure signs at my current velocity of 2974. This is an Extremely Lightweight rifle and my goal was to reach 2950+ with good accuracy, which I achieved and really don't feel the need to get any more out of it! It's a Reeeaaal Sweeet Shooter right where it is!
I've read some real good reviews on RL26.....I plan to try it in some other rifles, as well. So far, I'm Impressed!
