Wow that is impressive! Your loads are outrunning my cousin's 6.5-284 with 55gr of Retumbo and a 28" barrel. He is getting 2950fps and I thought that was good for the 147! Haha, this RL26 is some good stuff from what I've been seeing.

Off topic, but where are you guys ordering RL-26? I cannot find any locally and I have looked everywhere online and it's out of stock on every site. Thanks

Graf's seems to have plenty of whatever I need when I need it and I picked up 3lbs of RL26 from them last week. They show to be out right now but if I were you I'd just keep checking every few days .
