[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1478730, member: 99519"] Few weeks ago I tried rl26 in my 65284...51 wouldn't make 2800fps...i found a semi node around 53.5 but was still only 2850fps.... Next node that showed huge promise with no pressure signs was at 55.8....then my next and final test was to be 56......well a major screw up loaded my powder to 60.1....needless to say it didn't go over well....still hit the paper..about 3250fps or faster...but rifle suffered a need for bolt face replacement to sako style.... 55.8gr or rl26 was 3070fps average(five shots) and .6" squared...24.5" shilen barrel... Was happy with that....now try to get it back in order again....sucks... [/QUOTE]
