Are any of you guys using RL26 with the .280AI? I was finally able to get my hands on some of this powder and took it for a spin today with my recently built .280AI. I had good results with 4831SC, but I heard RL might get me a little more speed. I am not sure how much higher I can safely go because I can't seem to find much data. I am running a 24" Brux barrel on an old Remington 700 action. The loads at 61.5 were a shade over 3,000fps with 160 Accubonds at 82 degrees. I don't think I dare push it anymore than that even though I didn't see any pressure signs. I think I will load some in the 61.2 range and call it a day. For reference, those dots are about 3/4". All rounds were fired at 100 yards.
