Thread: RL26 loads 7mm Saum

My load was recommended by @Kelton

168 VLD with 63.6gr Rel 26 in ADG brass. 20” barrel for 2900 fps. I started with 215s but changing to 210s as he mentioned was an absolute game changer, definitely do it if you can. Mine is a true flite barrel too

I'd be throwing those 168s with rl17! You prob have some.unburnt powder from a 20" with 26

Na man it’s the perfect combo hence the good speed with short tubes and low pressure being the main thing rl17 will likely get close spreed but at a yuck pressure 2217 and 2225 behave very similar just bulkier so have to fill the case and the 180 on a short action wouldn’t fit enough and pressure is higher short barrels and heavy for cal reloader 26 is a good match except for price and availability

Could you explain the game changing effect of the 210s over the 215s please?

Easier tuned better sd and es as above this generally works up to 70gns of powder but it can go the other way to some 08 based cartridges love 215s

Interesting thanks guys - something else to buy ! Or should I say keep an eye out for ��

For my particular rifle, the 168s were very fussy and difficult to get shooting with the 215s. Messed with seating depth a lot to tune them and even then I wasnt fully satisfied. When I tried the 210s it just didn’t matter how they were seated, they all just started shooting great. I havent looked at details on SD etc but I imagine they were better too. For me it was just a night and day difference with accuracy.
