I am working on some loads with RE26 in my new 6.5CM. I would like to have an alternative powder worked up should I mistakenly run out of RE26 and can't find some for some reason. I would prefer to use something that is less market stressed than H4350 so I did not include it in my poll.
My gun:
Howa 1500 SA
25" Mark Chanlynn barrel 1x8
Nosler 140 RDF
2.885 COAL (2.2555 BTO)
With RE26 I can get 2800 easily, easy is according to QL, and that is my target velocity. A compressed load of RE26 actually put me over 3000 but I don't need this gun to be that hot. That is what my 6.5 SS is for.
Looking at QL the following listed seem to be able to give me the velocity I want and remain "safe".
RE16, RE17, RE26, Accurate 4350, Hogdon H414, Ramshot Hunter
