Finally got my hands on some RL 26. Smells nothing like any of my other powders. In fact almost has no smell at all.
Is this normal?

well I have smelled powder that was definitely bad. So I assume that no smell is a good thing. Although I have never had a powder with no smell at all.

I loaded up some rounds with it tonight for the 270 wsm. I should have my Magneto speed this weekend...
Alliant was the only place I could find load data for the 140 grain pills. Beside Sierra of course. But no surprise. Really, Sierra was WAY lower than Alliant. (Seems to be a trend there).
Reducing Alliant data by 10 percent puts me in the top 1/3 of Sierra's data. So that's where I started. I loaded up in half grain incriments. (Got some bullets to burn). Even working up 50 rounds. I am several grains below max listed by Alliant. I will wait to go to the range until I get that Chronograph later this week.

I am sure it does work well in the 28 Nosler. This was the only pound available anywhere apparently. Hahaha I will find a good load and not be able to get this powder for a long time probably
