Alliant Powders

Anybody using RL23 and RL25 in magnum cartridges? And what results are you getting velocity ( ES-SD ) and accuracy?

Haven’t used 23 much, but 25 a BUNCH! 257 Wby, 25-06, 300 Win Mag, 300 Wby, 7mm Rem and Mashburn Super, and on and on..

And not to be a smart aleck but I wouldn’t use it if it wasn’t accurate. Saying all that, 26 rules the roost with 22, 23, or 25. Haven’t had a problem making it as accurate as 25 and usually a tick faster.

I would never think you were a smart aleck.
I'm sitting here bored since I can't do anything for a week do to a heart catheterization I had done on Wednesday and thought I would use the down time to get more info.
I agree 26 gives the highest velocity of any of them. I saw 3339fps with a 180gr AB before the pressure signs started showing up while shooting a 15 shot ladder.
Just saying Alliant has more load data for RL25 with different bullets in 300wm than any of the other powders it makes.

I've been running RE23 in a 7WSM with 143 Hammer bullets. Accuracy out to 400yds was exceptional with 2" groups being the norm.

I know this is an older thread but is anyone using Re26 for their 7mm Mashburn Super? Would love to hear some feeeback.

I have not , I think it would be a good powder to try . I'm kind of stuck on H1000 in mine .

I use 26 in my 338 Jarret, if I did the math right were at about the same case capacity to bore ratio. 26 is great in the Jarrett, but that is as close as I get.

All I use in my 7mm Rem Mag is RL-26. Good stuff if you can find some.

257W--71.5grs RL25, Fed215 primer, 120gr Swift A-Frame, 3.211" OAL for 3274 FPS and SD7

Nothing wrong with results such as that.

64.5gr Rl23 with 160 partitions in my 7mm rem mag. 3050fps. 100fps faster than h1000 for me and very accurate

It works well. Not quite as well as some slower powders, but still very good.
