[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1453534, member: 102653"] I am running 62 gr RL26, 200 gr ELDX, Fed 210, Winchester case, in my 30-06. I am .010" off lands, at 2.635" base to ogive, COAL is 3.280". I don't use a drop tube, but I do use a top secret powder swirling technique... LOL! Rifle is a Savage 110 with a featherweight 22" barrel, that my dad gave to me. Previous owner bought it new in 1991, fired it 3 times, and stored it in a soft case since. Dad traded a lefty 308 for it. Rifle is pristine, but I need to shed the 1990's Tasco scope! LOL! I am getting 2750 FPS with that load, and short barrel. I was getting ready to jump test the load, but based on Hard Head's experience and post, I may just have to give those CCI BR2's a try as well. I would guess Hard Head is north of 2800 FPS with his load and longer barrel. RL26 seems to me to be a great powder for the 30-06 and heavy projectiles. Not sure why it isn't listed for the caliber by anyone that I could find? [/QUOTE]
