[QUOTE="Murtfree, post: 2233047, member: 111090"] Wanted to do a test run of RE23 since many spoke highly of it in the 280AI. I had an 8lb‘er begging to have the seal broken thats been sitting around for over a year since I hadn’t found anything to try it in. Been shooting a LOT of RE26 and RE33 lately. It proved to be the most accurate powder that I tried in my Kimber MA with 160 Accubond but did lack a little on the velocity end; about 140FPS less than RE26. I may be able to sneak another .5 grain in the case which would bring me within 100FPS of RE26. RE26 gave me 3 shot groups in the .6” range while RE 23 was around .3”. If I was shooting Bench rest comp I would certainly be going with the RE23 loads but will probably stick with RE26 for hunting loads. As you can see the 143 Hammer Hunters didn’t fair as well and hit pressure early. Are these RE23 loads comparable to what the rest are using. I couldn’t find any data but used Quick Load to arrive at my best guess loads. [/QUOTE]
