    Yeah, a little bit more and start to get slightly pressure.
    Even at 2850 I'm happy. This is with 2209.
    Would like to try RL26 after chopping 2 inches soon.

    I've also found Hodgdon Superperformance powder is a good replacement for RL26 in a lot of calibers 1 grain less of SPis what I've found in some.

    Nice, good to hear. A good alternative if no Rl26 around!
