Alliant has a couple newer powders out RL23 and 26. I have yet to find any data any place I have looked. I have yet to find anyone who know what calibers they are suited for. I did drop Alliant an email a couple weeks ago but still have yet to get an answer from them. So have any of you tried them or have any idea what they are suited for? |

Natchez has it listed in stock. I am thinking about giving them a try. Picked up a 25-06 and you can never have enough 7RM powder  .............. |

Ordered a couple #1' of each today along with 1000 CCI BR's for a little experiment later in the year.

Don't ask me why but for some reason I decided to run a few test loads today with RL-26. I say that because it was only 2 degrees when I went out with a wind chill of about -17. To say I wasn't thrilled with my results would be an understatement. I don't blame the powder for it not meeting my standards but the weather was brutally bad for shooting. Swirling winds at 25mph gusting to 40mph. I couldn't really even keep the chrono positioned and steady. After 3 strings of 10 I finally gave up will redo those loads during the week and find a better weekend to shoot. I will tell you this much I got very little powder residue out of the barrel for an RL powder. The numbers I did get weren't eyes popping but I did start out at 62.0 and gave up at 62.6. One good thing keeping the barrel cool was not that difficult  ....... Will try again when I get some better conditions. |

Your a brave man Chuck, trying to shoot today. I ran the snow blower in my parents driveway today & had to stop and go in and warm my aching fingers up before I could finish. You know I think I remember voting for "global warming" but it doesn't seem to be working out yet.  |

JB even the dog looked at me funny when I went out. He loves being outside normally he is half Akita and Half Norwegian and I had to kick him out to do his business. I guess I am just a glutton for punishment besides I was bored.... |

My daughter came from Missouri, my son and grand son, my wife and I had a nice dinner of grilled "porter house" pork chops, corn on the cobb, my son, G'son and I share 10/5. G'son is 4 minutes early though @ 10/4.
Pooh I hope you find to right house .
