Anybody running large magnum rifle primers with your RL26 in the CM?
Digging up this one, would the burn rate be appropriate for a 124gr class bullet?
Wanting a load with the 124gr HH.
I would think RL16 would be better with light bulletsBerger told me RL-26 was too slow for their 130 grain bullets. 124 would be even worse.
You'll be at 2850 with your eyes closed. I run the 140 elite Hunter with incredible accuracy and speed. SD is super low at 3.6 and consistent. I run Peterson SRP brass with CCI SRP magnum primers. I've included a photo of my load data for you. Running 2992 FPS with no issues. Shoots 5 shot bug holes. I run this load in 2 different rifles, Savage model 10 FP and my Christensen Arms Ridgeline.Got 4lbs of the magical RL-26 fairy dust that everyone keeps talking about ( I found a place here in Houston with it in stock ). I wonna be right at 2850fps.

I was currently running IMR-4955 but it's just not the most consistent.

Looks like bowfishins email from Berger would contradict that RL26 being to slow.I would think RL16 would be better with light bullets
