[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1794246, member: 85987"] When I started w/Rl26 I bought 1 pound. In the creed, it shot very fast with single-digit ES! The shop I was at was load mapping powders other than H4350 due to shortages. Other than excessive fouling and throat wear it is tough to beat. In the 270 top velocities with accuracy and single-digit ES. Runs cleaner than in the creed but still dirty. Buy what you can when you can. I have 23# of that 29# of Rl15 24# of Rl19. I have 15.5# of 100V, 16# of 4955 and H4831. 12# of Retumbo and 1-5# of a whole lot of other stuff I don't load much of. All are substitutes for what I prefer. Same for brass in stuff I shoot I have enough for a very long time. If you have something that needs components, buy 2 barrels worth for each rifle. You watched supply dry up once. You were warned don't let it happen again. [/QUOTE]
