Default Reloader 26?

I’ve read online that reloader 26 is some sort of miracle powder making many cartridges increase velocity by 150 to 200 fps over what was typically attainable. Does anyone have experience with this powder? Does anyone know where I might acquire some?

With my 270wsm I couldn’t get over 3000fps with H1000 and 7828ssc without getting significant pressure. Switched to R26 and am getting 3247 with no case head expansion or stiff bolt and groups around a half inch.

That’s significant. Thanks for posting. Do you know where a person might get some of his own?

I’ve found it to be very accurate, consistent, temp insensitive, and it does do good things velocity wise.

Is it proving difficult to find, like R22?

Usually tougher to find. Last time I just bought an 8lber.

Try Rayner Shine in Saskatchewan. Was awhile back but I got a 8 pounder from him at a gun show.

Thank you for that suggestion. I tried their website, but they don’t have it listed.

Check if Brent at the Neerlandia Co-op has it.
