I have some 150gr LRAB I want to try in 270w anyone tried RL26 in 270win ?Ive seen some post for 270 WSM but havent found 270win? If so did you see speed increase over say H4350?
How did it group? I have 2 reload books and neither show RL26 for 270.
 
I used it in my 270 Win BBR 22" barrel with the 150 gr Speer spt. I started at 55 grs and came to a max load in mine of 60 grs. Accuracy was sub MOA and I gained appx 100 ft/sec over RL-22 which at that time was the the powder giving me the highest velocity.
 
Im shooting the 150 partition with 60.5 gr of R26 from a 23 in barrel and get 3087 fps groups average .5 moa at 100yds and 3.5 at 450yds.
I can go to 61.5 gr at over 3100 fps but the group opens to .9 but is hard on brass.
Primer used Fed 210 case neck down 30/06 Lapua.
 
I tried it in mine with 150g bergers. Got some good velocity and had some that showed some potential. I started at 55 and went up to 585 and it blew a primer pocket at that. I think 57.5 would be a max load for my rifle by the looks of everything. It shot 2950 at 57.5 sd12.2 spread of 22. About an 1" group could proably get it to shoot god playing with seating depth.
