So I'm being lazy--finally got in all the stuff for 6.5 PRC and 6.8 Western and 'bout to start test loads. I've done a LOT of loading for friends and family during the pandemic and find myself a little burnt out as I finally start loading some of my own stuff. I'd love to cut right to working up some loads based on your pet loads data. I've been loading for over 50 years and currently load for 41 calibers (Metallic and Shotshells), so I am familiar with the caveats/cautions associated with pinching someone else's data. But I'd love any info you guys might have who run/load either of these rounds. Also, where are you guys getting all that RL-26 I keep hearing about? I've been after it for over two years--I have pretty much every powder these cartridges will eat but not the RL-26.
