you're welcome .
let me know how this works out for you . I recently bought a pound of RL26 to play with . after hunting season I'm going to give it a try in my 300 wby , and also in my 7 rem mag . maybe I can get two rifles to use the same powder .

I have been using re26 in my 220 swift pushing 75 a-max's around 3500, and have been getting great results. Smallest 5 shot group measured .156 center to center at widest point. SD's are fantastic as well at higher pressures with powder level being around the base of the neck. SD for that load was 11. I shot some test loads last weekend and got 3000 fps with 81 grains of re26 (!!!Hot load, may not be safe in your rifle, please start at safe book load and work up!!!) And very consistent velocities. Groups were not great, but i had forgotten that the bedding relationship on that rifle was poor, so I bedded it and we will see what it does tomorrow morning. Groups would have two touching, and then another two touching ect ect which to me was a bedding issue. I love the powder so far. Will post pics tomorrow hopefully!
