[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1233041, member: 90080"] Korhil, it looks like you are nearly finished with your work and now you get to do the fun part. Rich put me on to the RL-26, going on a year ago. I thought to try it in my .280, but had such a good load with IMR-7828, I didn't. I finally tried it in a 7RM with 162 and 168s and quickly fell in love with it. I'm glad I got 16#, now that you, Rich and others are having so much success with it in the 6.5 Sherman. I have a 4 month wait for mine, so I'll have to depend on fine threads like yours to keep me informed. I have followed your two threads on the 6.5 from the beginning, as I was looking to build a .264 WinMag. Rich kept whispering in my ear about the 6.5 SS, but after some hesitation, I decided to take the LA option and can't wait to get it in my hands. Thanks for your kind words and your help.
