I have not had to bug powder in quite song time but with the 270 arriving I’ve been doing some research and it seems like Reloder 26 may be a good powder to try as I start reloading for it. Any place you guys can recommend to look?

A friend sent me this earlier this evening from cabelas in Buda, TX. I got to believe they set that up for the photo. That just doesn't look real. Prescut |

Neither of the Oregon Cabelas had any RL-26.

That picture must be pre-Covid, or a mirage maybe??
We don't have that kind of choice or volume available out here in Oregon.

I went to two shops and one had about 10# of powder and the other literally had none! Sportsman’s Warehouse had 7-8 different powders but I bet j have more overall pounds of powder in my Cabinets than they did.

RL26 has been especially hard to find in the last few years. I'm a member of a Discord server for in stock reloading gear that gives near immediate notifications when something is in stock, and I haven't been able to get any in a couple years of looking. The only RL26 I could find was a local shooter with 2 lbs to sell.
I think this is one instance where you need to look at a different powder.

Back to H4831 it sounds like. The IMR 4831 worked great in my 270Win till at over7000 rds the throat was gone…. |

Back to H4831 it sounds like. I found my 270 load when I was 14yo, H4831, a 150gr Nos Partition at 3000fps and .75” 3 shot groups. Why look any further? I wouldn’t mind having a couple more pounds if that powder in the shelf (or an 8lb jug) but I’m not out so… |

Alliant powders have been scarce for some time now, as you can see Hodgedon owned powders are making a good return, I was going to recommend H4350 for your 270
