When loading the RP cases I have found they weigh 5-8 grains heavier than WW brass and hit pressure a couple grains sooner / lower.

Normal 180 gn load in we brass is 57 of 2209 for 2700 fps.

In my 06, max is 55 of 09 in RP brass.

Thanks for the heads up on the rem brass as that is what I have to work with. Not a fan of it, but not my rifle or choice.

Have 2209 to try but I have been given several other powders to try first.
RL 26 would likely go great with the 180s. But wasn't given any and I only have 5.5 lbs left
