[QUOTE="Keith1, post: 1685009, member: 26846"] What happened was that on another forum people were getting super speed and accuracy with RL26 and a 270 Winchester. Some were reporting using 63 grains of powder and 150 Partitions. I got up to 60.8 grains of RL26 and checked the velocity and it was 3140 FPS from a 24 inch barrel with zero high pressure signs. I was measuring case head expansion, opening bolt resistance, primer cratering, just everything and still got a big surprise. I now use 59.8 grains of powder and that produces 3060 FPS and that's enough for me. My 30/06 load with RL26 is a Quickload load. There is not even a hint of anything being to much. For me RL26 is a very good powder but just be cautious because that high speed for sure comes from high pressure. Regards [/QUOTE]
