Just one problem with Norma powders in the US. I don't think the have any plans to import it any time soon. I truly wanted to try a couple for the large magnums

You will have to think of what you have to trade because the way things are looking those bottles aren't getting any cheaper! TackDriver284

RL22 worked well for my 300 Win Mag with NBT and Accubonds.

No. It’s does things most powders dream of.

RL26 in the 6mm Rem with 95 and 100 grain bullets is next level in my rifle. My son loves it in his 270 as well, but he can use H4813sc, the remaining stash of RL22 is worth fighting over ;-)

H1000 works really nicely in the 6.5PRC with 147ELDM's.

I’m partial to my IMR4831 myself. Great powder. I’ve got my stock back up to 14 lbs so I’m pretty good for a couple years now. I haven’t been doing much loading the last month and a half, but I sure have been buying. I think I need to go to Reloaders Rehab.

One of the most consistently accurate powders across the widest variety of cartridges that I have on my shelf. I know that some extremely knowledgeable gun writers have documented some temperature sensitivity with it, but I have never seen it (and I have used it in one particular .338 Win. Mag. handload in some very extreme conditions). One downside I have noted with this powder is that it does seem to suffer from some lot-to-lot variation. It also burns a little dirtier than some powders, perhaps, but I still love it.

I have used Max load of RL22 in my 6mm Rem with Hornady BTSP 100gr bullets and shot one of my smallest Groups with it 7/8 inch at 300yards. But that’s unusual but it does average under 2.2 inches at 300 yards when I shoot three, three shot groups in a row.
So yes I would say good enough for a Hunting Rifle for Me.

I got around 400 of them so even though I'd take a truckload of them I'm not in dire straits for them. You better up your poker game Danno!

True, but RS magnum is as close to 26 performance as we can get right now. Does wonderful things in the 280 AI and 7 RM

LRT might also fit that roll. The boy has some for many calibers to try in , since he move to where he teaches load work is at a stand still. It did show promise in his 378 Wby.
I'm giving it a try in 264wm, 300wm and 338lm. Hopefully get good results.
The only caliber I've used RL22 in is the 25.06 with bullets from 110gr - 120gr and it has been exceptional. I have several pounds on hand but have quite a few rounds loaded up so i should be good for a while. I've always heard of it being very temp sensitive but I've personally never had any issues with it but we don't have big temp swings either. If i ever run out I'd definitely have to find some.
I have used it for all of those and man, it works. 22 gets a bad rap but danged if it isn't good for me in all of those. Not sure about the 260, but I know it works well in the others.
