Default Reloader 26

Anyone have a line on some Reloader 26 called all round Calgary and no one seems to carry it or it’s always out of stock. Was hoping to try out a lb in my 25-06 to see how it shoots quickload is saying it’s pretty good and I hear great things online.

It’s great stuff!!
I got a few pounds when it was new, now I’m almost out.

I’d also like to find some more!!

A few years ago during the powder drought, I ordered a couple cans (forget what powder it was but not rl26) from Cabelas. I didn’t have to pay any shipping either, the only extra cost over shelf price was the wait time. It came in a couple weeks later. They’ve got trucks coming from the states all the time so they’ll be able to get it for ya.

I've done that years ago too. Order on line and they will ship for free to your nearest store - in store pick up they call it. No shipping or hazmat fees. Or order 24 lbs. from Higginson and they offer free shipping you just pay a $35 hazmat fee.
As for RL 26, I picked up a pound in Red Deer a while ago that was pretty pricey. Wish that Higginsons carried that line of powder...

Last 8 pounder I got was from Rainer Shine in Saskatchewan. Waiting for my new build to be finished so I can crack it open.

Have you tried H1000. The 25 cal likes it alot.

Both of them I bought last fall works awesome behind the 100 and 117gr booltiz...

The Moose and Deer won't know the difference when their Wrapper gets tagged by them. Ha

Retumbo shot very well in my .25/06 with the 115BT.

I bought a bunch of reloader 17 a month ago from Hummason. 40$/lb.
I don't use Rl 26 so I didn't ask if they had any.
Most Alliant powder is more common now than it was 10 yrs ago.
