RL25 59.0 gr 0.5gr below max RL26 57.0 gr 0.3gr below max
3124 3070
3095 3095
3092 3094
3094 3095
3097 3075

So pretty much identical velocities between the 2 powders. Just thought I would share that, I thought it was interesting.
Great, thanks for posting this, the hornady reload data actually shows those 2 powders at the same velocity, but you confirmed it, It would be interesting to know what the accuracy was like with both those loads, and if you were shooting a 24" or 26" barrel
