RL26 in 7-08

For those using it, would you mind sharing your load data?

I'll be using 120 grain NBT and 140 grain Accubonds/Partitions in Lapua brass.

I switched to rl-19 from varget for 140s and shrunk my groups. I'd choose a different powder for each bullet weight.

RL26 is way to slow for 120gr.

RL16 is more in line with burn rates commonly used on 7/ 08s for lighter 120-140 gr bullets. Then again I figured RL26 would be slow for 6.5 creedmoor and people are doing great with it.. I would feel safe using listed data for 4831 as starting load data for RL26.

RL16 is also too slow for 120gr bullets in 7mm-08. Can't get enough in the case to match Varget. Not even close. RL16 would be good for 140gr or 160gr though.
