[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1445570, member: 87243"] Just wanted to add an update in reference to the small rifle primer brass and reloder 26. I am using a .260 AI, so close but a little different. I tested using 49.5 grains Reloder 26, 147 ELD-M seated .010" off, COAL of 2.920", and peterson formed SRP brass. Using Federal small rifle match primers, my e.s. was 24 fps, and .75" 5 shot group. Using cci 450 (small rifle magnum) primers, my e.s. was 21 fps, 1" 5 shot group. Using cci br-4 primers however, my e.s. was 9 fps with an s.d. of 3.8 fps, sub half MOA 5 shot group with 4 going into a .2" group and one that I believe I pulled, and avg velocity was 3040 fps. So I am having no issues with the slow burning powder in a .260 AI and peterson SRP brass. The flashole is small as well, I had to switch to a small decapping pin as the flash hole is .060" diameter. So I am not exactly sure what is causing some people issues getting low e.s. with the SRP brass and Reloder 26.....I have even higher capacity than the creed and no issues. Interesting. [/QUOTE]
