I just got some Reloader 26 and I have heard that this is great stuff for the 7MM Mag. I plan on working up a load with some 160 Accubonds. Anybody had any success with this combo?

I have used in a 7mag with 160 ABs with good success. My 300wm really likes it with 180ABs 3100 fps well under MOA.

I use it with 150gr. ABLR, 150 and 162gr. ELDX. 160gr Sierra Gamekings and 168gr Berger VLD Hunting.
Also works great in 243 Win with 100+ gr bullets.
And 120 gr Gamekiings out of my 257 Roberts.

The R-26 is a very slow burner. Works extra well for heavy for caliber bullets in 25" plus barrels.
I got better speed and accuracy in my 7mm with the R-23 when I used the 162gr bullets. The 26 will work great also but I got an average of 85fps more speed with the R-23 as I said.

Interesting.
I'm getting 25fps + with RL26 over RL23 with 150 gr and over bullets.
This from a 24" Savage 111.
As they say for load data. "My rifle is different from your rifle".

RL26 is AWESOME!!! I'm getting 2960fps with 160 grain Accubonds using RL26. My rifle is a Remington Model Seven SS in 7 SAUM with a factory 22" barrel. I've gotten it up to 3000fps with the 160s, but felt that it was a little hot.
Good luck.

Finally got some loads out to the range today. First impression, I am very impressed with the Reloader 26. My best group today was 0.600" with an average velocity of 3013 FPS with an Accubond. I am going to play with the charge and seating depth a bit more to see if it can get any better. So far though I'll take it.

I can't find any Reloder 26 anywhere.

I had a tough time finding it as well. I had to order.

It's fairly plentiful here in central PA.
Been using it in my 284 recently. Really picked up the velocities.
