Here we go again. I ran a whole bunch of different combinations of RL25 and IMR7828 in my M70 with a 26" barrel. I've found this rifle likes to have bullets seated long. So I've been seating rounds to a COAL of 3.38". When I get to 3.39", I'm pushing the limit to allow rounds to go into the magazine, thus the 0.010" buffer.
All of the loads I worked up in this powder when seated this way were under 1". The most accurate was at the max loading of 75gr of RL25, with the group at about 0.75" in a cloverleaf. Velocities for the 3 shots were as follows:
2879 fps
2855 fps
2904 fps
