Thread: developing new load for the roar

RE26 is the ticket mate, it takes up less room for the same weight. I run 48gr of Re26 in creedmoor with 143s, seated to fit a short rem model 7 mag (2.813") and theres no compression, 100% full thou. Really good velocity (2900+ from a 24" barrel) and shoots under .5moa so far without fine tuning
