[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1264850, member: 63138"] I can see why nobody is using this powder/bullet combo. I loaded some and could only get 63 grains in the case which, with a relatively slow burn rate (0.4090 per quickload) should be pretty low on the performance scale. The odd thing is that I can get 68 grains of RL-26 in the case and it is even slower at 0.3397 but it gives me 2,939 fps and good accuracy with an ES of 15. I thought RL-23 would be a more appropriate powder for this chambering but it looks like the only thing going for it is temp stability and reduced copper fouling. Per Hornady data RL-17 or Hunter give max performance in the 300 WSM but it looks like RL-26 could be added to that list but not RL-23. [/QUOTE]
