[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1894413, member: 33159"] Yes, RL26 surprises me a lot. I ran out of case capacity before I hit pressure in my 6.5 Creed. I got over 3000 fps with the 143 gr ELDX, but settled on 2953 fps and 0.50” moa or less. I listened to Sherm, Shep and Lance with RL23 in the 280 AI. I’ve got the 143 gr Hammer doing 3268 fps and hit pressure just under 3300 fps. The 151 LRAB is a 3121 fps and ran out of case capacity over 3200 fps. I’ve got a friend running the same bullet in his AI, but with RL26, and he’s at 3235 fps. Finishing up load development with the 162 ELDX and RL23. It’s at 3030 fps and hit pressure at 3076 fps. That’s not screaming fast with that bullet, and is more in line with the mind of velocities others are getting with 160 pills. My barrel is 24” with a 1:8, but it does have a match chamber, so I have longer COALS. [/QUOTE]
