[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1610248, member: 63925"] Ok, I was expecting a little more velocity with RL-26 but not there yet. Max load from Alliant is 74.0 grains. I ladder tested right up to 74.0 by 0.3 each round from 70 just to get a feel for the powder. Maxed out the 74 gr at 2945 fps. Absolutely no pressure whatsoever. Primer nice rounded edge, no ejector bright spots, bolt easy normal lift. I did not loaded above the max 74.0 but now I wished I had done so. I also ladder tested the 200AB right up to 74 and same thing. Nice rounded primer, no nada etc. BTW - Sendero 26" barrel. Anybody else using RL-26 with 200 ELDX or 200 AB? How much further past 74.0 did you go or when did you see pressure? I think I am now doing another ladder starting at 73.0 and sealing off at 75.0? Thoughts with RL-26 versus load data? [/QUOTE]
