[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1688507, member: 307"] I used RL26 with 215gn Bergers at about 3050fps but just recently ran out of them. They shot extremely well through a PacNor 28", 1-9t barrel. I was using 75gn's with a BR2 primer and OAL of 3.7350". Base to ogive works out to 2.9720" (if I'm reading my notes right). I did try a couple 3 shot groups using the 212gn ELD-X while developing the load for the Bergers and they shot just as good if not better. Groups were one ragged hole with both bullets but the ES/SD was lower for the Hornady's, same case, powder load and primer. I could tell by the way the ELD's were chambering though that they were getting jammed but the numbers (ES/SD) were in the single digits! Doesn't hurt that I just bought 4 boxes of 212's and a box of 200gn -X's from a friend for $80! He got them for his Bergara .30-06 but said they kicked too bad. You know I ragged him about that (after the deal of course). In the past, shooting 180-190's, I've had good luck with RL22, IMR 7828, H1000 and IMR4831. All were good but I'd give the accuracy edge to H1000 (especially with 190gn SMK's) in my rifle, which was a stock Savage 112BVSS. [/QUOTE]
