I have two fine, minty German combo. guns, both with 7x65r rifle chambers.

I need loading data for these with RE-26 and 150 or 160 Npts.

Thanks for any help.

Reloader 26 is awfully slow for a 7x65R, is there a specific reason why you want to use that particular powder? If all else fails, look at starting loads for .280 Remington or 7x64. as the three cartridges are functionally the same.

That was my advice as well but OP is seeking less "dated" data.

I use .280 Rem data to work up my 7x64 loads.

I have had about six .280s, two .280ais, one 7x64, a dozen plus 7x57s, even more .270s and three 7mmRM rifles since 1967. My 7-08 excepted, RE-26 has worked superbly in all of these and I expect it will in the two 7x65s I intend to load for.

I have handloaded for almost 55 years, some 200 rifles oof my own plus some of friends and RE-26 is among my favourite powders. I have a good supply and want to shoot it all before I get much older.....currently 76.

Hope that makes sense.

Understood. Were I in your situation, I would start with 85% of my .280/7x64 load.
