I'm trying to go with more heavier bullets 180gr to 220gr. So I'm still trying to figure out which how each behaves.RL26 is much slower burning than H4350 and seems to be at its best, and gets higher velocity, in larger cases vs bore, using heavy for caliber bullets. For example, I can get 3000 fps in a 270 with 150gr bullets while I can barely get to 2750 fps using the same bullet with H4350. Same with the 7mm Rem Mag and 160gr bullets. 3000 fps is easily doable with RL26 vs 2750 with H4350.
If using lighter weight bullets in those same cartridges, I would use H4350.
Which cartridge? If there is enough case capacity, RL26 would be the better of the two. If a standard case like 30-06, I'd likely look at H4831 or RL22.I'm trying to go with more heavier bullets 180gr to 220gr. So I'm still trying to figure out which how each behaves.

I do like the velocity it gives but seems it uses more per load for same fps. Is it cleaner burning?RL26 would be my choice with that cartridge and those bullet weights.
It may require more, but that's expected from a slower burning powder. The fact you can fill more of the case without spiking pressure is a good thing. It seems to burn pretty clean.I do like the velocity it gives but seems it uses more per load for same fps. Is it cleaner burning?
Hey there. I know your post is from November but thought I'd let you know about a load I use in my Remington 700 .300 Win Mag.Got any experience with H1000, US869, WC 760, RL-17, magpro or Retumbo? Lol.
