    Remington 700LA, Shillen select match 1:8. Previously I had a tight neck (.290) but had it re cut to .298 as didn’t want to neck turn cases. When it was a 30 inch barrel I ran 2213sc and they were going at 3015fps. The RL26 seems great for speed and low pressure but to be fair have not tried the ADI variants with the shorter barrel.

    That sounds like a great combo. Would be interesting to see what is achievable with some other powder options that are a bit more available too. Thanks
