    Colorado is looking more like California....

    R-26

    As I said I just shot few test loads. I don't chrono those loads and also give me chance adjust seating and decide if I want to use Nosler or Peterson brass. Same with Fed 210m or Fed 215. I load at range so doesn't take much to get good test loads to start with.

    R-26

    Finally got some R-26. I loaded up few test loads for 280AI using 175gr ABLR and was about 1" from existing load @ 100yds. Glad Nolser had some loading data.

    Reloading Manuals Must Have

    Hornady X and Sierra Vl Manual have loading data for 308 Norma mag. I think you can get data on line may have to pay for it. Just looking, Hornady has better selection of powder, both use Norma case.
