Re#23 and Re#26 ????

I saw a write up on these somewhere that now I can't find my way back to it which is of no help to you other than to know that there is something out there.

I just started working with R26 in my 6.5 Sherman yesterday and it seems it may be a good fit. Speeds with 140gr A-Max approaching 3300. It is the same chemistry as R17 and R33. When I move up to the 160's I'll be able to make a direct comparison to R33.

the Atk statement says reloader 26 has a burn speed between rl22 and rl 33, it also says it is definitely slower than reloader 25, but then Alliants reloading data for the 7mm & 300 wheatherby has the max loads at about 4 gr less than the reloader 25 loads with a little more velocity than rl 25 so is it slower or faster than rl 25 or is it both????
 
Interesting. I burn re#22 in my 6x284 now , I'll be trying that Re# 23 next
I think it will work well. I haven't tried it yet. Not sure what to use it in.

I think it's a good match in the 257Wby and 270Wby.

QL thinks I can get to ~3700fps with a TTSX 100 in the 257. That would be pretty cool.
