Reloder 26

Picture is worth 1000 words.

These are both right at 65kpsi. Which one do you think will be faster?

They are not discontinuing it. Midway does that every so often with items that have been out of stock for a while.
 
Count me a fan of RL26 aka "pixie dust." I've used it in a 270 w/150s, 270wsm with 140s, 7mm08 with 160s, 7STW with 160s, 300wm with 200s and a 340wby with 225s. I've yet to experience pressure spikes but I typically won't shoot if it's hotter than 80. It isn't always the most accurate load, but it's always been the fastest by a significant margin. My problem is I'm down to about 4lbs of it….. I'd hoped to do additional testing but presently feel compelled to conserve what I have. I will note that it seems to run dirtier than most powders I shoot.
 
Great to have a PLAN B on your favorite powder choice, as we have had to do with R#15, 22, 23, 19, and 25. The WAR is not getting better in Europe with Russia and China buying up all the gun cotton being produced, better get what you can.
