[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2241992, member: 106919"] Not apples to apples here but in my 280ai I went from using RL23 to RL17 to shoot the 140AH. Not saying 26 won’t work, it just may not be the best. I’m in the process now of trying the 117 absolute in my 25 SST. I usually use N565 so I have a ladder loaded with that. I then loaded up a ladder with RL17. If I don’t get the speed I want from the 565 and RL17 I’ll try 4350, then 4895 and so on. 68 grns may be aggressive, it’s just the closest published data to a 155 grain bullet I found on Alliant’s website. I see there is 154 dead blow data on the load spreadsheet, looks like using RL26 he pressured out at 69.0 grains. I would think the AH will be able to go a grn or 2 more. They have a lower engraving pressure so you need a faster powder (usually) to get the bullet to pressure up initially. If I had the ability to crimp I’d do that as well. The whole point of the AH is the added speed, they have lower BC than the regular HHs. If you’re not worried about speed I’d go with the HH instead. Both will kill just fine! [/QUOTE]
