[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1350754, member: 56875"] I have been using RL26 a lot for my 6.5 Creedmoor and I have run the numbers on RL26 and heavy bullets in the 30-06. I will tell you I am liking the possibilities. COAL 3.380" 212 ELD-X HBN Coated 24" barrel 2704 fps, 26" barrel 2748 fps, 28" barrel 2788 fps @ 58705 psi 212 ELD-X Non Coated 24" barrel 2696 fps, 26" barrel 2740 fps, 28" barrel 2779 fps @ 59823 psi @ 2700 fps it takes 28.3 moa to get to a 1000 yards and retains 1071 ft lbs of energy. @ 2780 fps it takes 26.4 moa to get to a 1000 yards and retains 1157 ft lbs of energy. Yes there are better long range hunting cartridges out there but that is not bad for a cartridge over 110 years old. [/QUOTE]
