Not only saved but have the brass in my hand. Remember I found 8mmrm brass for $150 for 25, plus freight, in stock. 375 H&H If you can find it is $100ish, and shipping. 375 form very easily in to 8mmrm or 416 too. I just got in a mail a box with 42 once fired 375 for 20 bucks. We have 300 8mms and a good amount 375s but now we have more.  Know of anyone with an excess of RL. 26? ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

I use RL-26 in my Swede. Fortunately I bought 8 pounds of it before all this crazyness started. I haven't seen any on store shelves since. H1000 and Retumbo might be a good replacement if you can find either one of them. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

H1000 is a compressed load and it showed over presser sign at speeds way less then 26. Retumbo, we could never get close to the speeds of 26, both gave way more felt recoil too. I'm getting 200 to 300 fps more speed then any other powder and noticeably less felt recoil. 3200 fps with a 200 gr copper bullet and no sign of over presser. 3100 fps with a 220... we have both in our larder. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
