[QUOTE="travisblossom72, post: 1303868, member: 100890"] 869 is tough to beat. Nosler book data has it giving the best velocities. I have some and will probably try it also but would rather have an extreme powder. The new RL powders are supposed to be less sensitive to temp and have the additives to help burn cleaner. RL26 is supposed to be a little slower burning than 25 which would make it a little faster than 33. I ran 33 and retumbo in a 6-284 then tryed some RL26 and gained almost 200 fps. I know this is a much different case but a lot of the data is on very similar powders. Most of what I saw on the 50 bmg looked good except the velocities. I may try it at some point. I have some of the other powders so I'll try them first. I have, Retumbo, H1000, 869, RL25, RL26, RL33. Hunting in MT I need a temp insensitive powder that will hopefully push the 140 bullet at 3400+. I didn't get a 26 Nosler to shoot it at 6.5-284 speeds. I spoke with Alliant today and he wouldn't give me any details but assured me that there is testing going on at this very moment with RL26 and the 26 Nosler. He seemed to think that it is going to perform really well in that case. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
