[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2335737, member: 33159"] I agree with this 100%, BUT RL26 in the Creed doesn’t follow the “rules”. Mine shoots bug holes with the 143 ELDX at 2954 fps. That’s only 43 fps less than what my 6.5-284 gets with the same bullet using Retumbo. There are no signs of pressure. No flattened primer, no ejector mark and no heavy bolt lift. I actually ran it over 3000 fps and ran out of case capacity before I found pressure. I didn’t believe the Creed could do this until a friend from this site convinced me to try it. We joke about RL26 being made of unicorn horns and fairy dust, but it does do magical things in some cartridges. [/QUOTE]
