I havent persisted further with 2225 as ive decided not to just keep wasting consumables when i have a RL26 load sorted that shoots great groups at a hair under 3000.

Thank you for that. I’ll start load development once to get my rifle back hopefully this weekend. I’ll post up results from factory’s and reloads

Just catching up on some reading here.

I’ve just done my first ladder tests with H4831sc using Hornady brass and fed 215 primers , ELD-M
The accuracy was pretty good but a fair bit slower than I would have liked. Book max was 64 gr and I was finding pressure signs at about 62.5gr-63gr and only hit 2830 fps max out of a 20” barrel.

I was hopin for a little more room to move with that one but have just got a lb of retumbo (2225) to try out. Will see if I can get a little less pressure with a little more speed.

I have a box of adg brass sitting there but I kind of want to make all my mistakes and tinker on the hornady brass because I start on the adg. Is that a dumb idea? Should I just start with the retumbo In The adg brass

That’s not bad for 180 class projectiles from 20 inches of barrel. I got 2850 with 2225 and then hit pressure. Re26 would get close to 2900

Yip 62gns

Shit bro. (Kelton) Your SD and ES on that load is rediculous. Well done .
Is that with r26 or 2225

Reloader 26 wre primers I actually only done a ladder with 2225 out of curiosity it was a very accurate ladder given the press in powder charges
