RL 26 pressure spikes

[northAZarcher]

Anybody use RL 26 in AZ and seen significant spikes in pressure?  I found 2 loads that my rifle like for my 7 saum and one is 62 grains of RL 26.  I know temps fluctuate quite a bit here in AZ and wondering if I should stick to H1000.

I reload 75.70 grains of Reloader 26 in one of my 28 noslers and have not experienced any pressure spikes.

RL26 has a temp coating so that shouldn't be an issue. Sounds like you may too close to rifling. Try seating a little deeper.

What weight bullet? RL26 has temp coating but it's a tad faster than H1000. About two grains less than H1000

I was finally able to get some Rl26 and look forward to trying it out. I’ve read a bunch trying to answer your same question and a lot of the forums I found stated there wasn’t a noticeable change in pressure except when temps were above the 85 deg range. I ordered a new chrono, so I’m hoping to test things out pretty soon.

What Chrono did you get?

I ordered the magnetospeed sporter. I had a LabRadar, but stupidly sold it to fund some other projects at the time.
