[QUOTE="KTP, post: 1513751, member: 57708"] I finally had a chance to test some RL26 in my 6.5 Creedmoor. I kept it simple. PRIME once fired brass, full length sized, GM210 primers, COAL at 2.810. I used 2 guns. Savage action barreled to a 26” savage heavy barrel 1:8. Tikka T3 with 24” field barrel 1:8. 140VLD hunting bullets. I simply fired 2 rounds for each load over my Oehler chrony. 45 degrees. I’m not pulling down some of the velocities that I read about. Of course I could have fired more of each load, but I was simply trying to get a feel for velocity. SAVAGE 46.6 grains 2757, 2747 velocity 47 grains 2797, 2785 47.5 grains 2830, 2843 48 grains 2863, 2863 TIKKA 47 grains 2746, 2732 48 grains 2856, 2845 [/QUOTE]
