Anyone running RL 26 in the 6.5-06AI with 140 range bullets?
Just wondering your reasoning concerning better choices? From all I've read, RL26 seems to be working very well in similar size case capacities! It works REAL WELL in my 6.5x284(sub .25" groups at a pressure free 2975fps with 140 VLDs in 24" bbl)....I'm testing it today or next few days in 280ai and 264wm.....and soon in 280 Rem(also going to try RL16 in 280 Rem).There is probably someone out there using R-26 as your asking. That being said, there are certainly several better choices. I've used Retumbo, H4831sc, Norma 217, H1000, and IMR7977 among others in my 6.5/06 rifles over the years.
Good question! Let me start with stating I've had a 6.5/06 or a 6.5/06ai since I had my first 6.5/06 built in 1992.Just wondering your reasoning concerning better choices?
