[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2231182, member: 307"] I didn't see a mention of the primer you're using. I only use the CCI BR2 in my .300WinMag with RL26. I've tried most of the others during initial load development and accuracy/velocity/ES & SD are best with BR2's. I know that doesn't sound reasonable to most people, even me, but they work great. Short story long; This tidbit of info came to me from an 18yr old on this site a few years back. I can't remember the guys name but he had built his own rifle, a .300WinMag, and had worked up a LR load with RL26 & specifically stated that he'd found BR2's were best. The bullets were 200gn + IIRC, but never mind that. Well, me being the experienced reloader (read as "know it all") was not gonna let some 18yr old decide for me what components to use. I'd do my own "scientific to me" load development and secretly create a better load than he. Never happened. I shot every stinking brand of magnum primer I had and a few of the Large Rifle varieties, and still the BR2's came out ahead. I don't know what it is but they work great with RL26. I hate to tell everyone that, as they are my favorite primer and this'll just add to the shortage! LoL. Right now I'm using RL26, BR2's with the 225gn ELD-M @ 2965fps and accuracy is phenomenal (to me). Here's a pic from last Sunday @ 1100yds. It's only a two shot group (I know, I know, not enough data) but it was sooo HOT. My shooting buddy and I planned to verify come ups to 1000yds but had to try 1100 before we called it quits. I was well pleased, as I was aiming for the black area in the pic, dialing elevation and holding for wind. Pac-Nor, 28", 9t. [/QUOTE]
