[QUOTE="orch, post: 1796723, member: 35688"] With rl-25 in my two 2506ai’s I was getting 3300fps no problem with 115 Berger vlds... one barrel was shot out around 1100 rounds, the second has around 8-900 on it and is probably close to being toast... main sign was loosing velocity.. down to lower to mid 3200 fps range now... did try rl-26 in them when it first came out and I’d say it was giving me similar velocity to rl25 at about 1gr less charge weight... never tried taking it above that to see where I found pressure so I can’t say for sure but I’d wager I’d probably find max pressure about 50-100fps faster with rl-26... I’ve found that in most of my other cartridges I’m using rl-26 in... Just never really went to rl-26 in my 2506ai’s as I, like you, have a pile of rl-25 on hand and had to use it somewhere... As far as temp sensitivity I never really found rl-25 too terrible shooting from -20c to +25c I cant say there was a huge swing in my 1000yard dope I do believe rl-26 is better on reducing copper fouling though (I believe that was another marketing claim they made for Reloader 26) Orch [/QUOTE]
