Anyone have a clue as to where i can start assembling loads with this powder? No published data out there so any help would be cool. Thanks.

Hey WrzWaldo. Do you have any loading data for RL-7 using the 26 gr varmint grenades? I've had fairly good success using H-4198 which has a similar burn rate, but can't find any data for RL-7.
Thnx

Regarding loads, Barnes said, "you can use other published load data from Hodgdon or Hornady and the 32gr bullet for use with the 26gr Varmint Grenade bullets. Use the minimum load data to start. Working up in 1/2 gr. increments."
26 gr. Barnes VM (Varmint Grenade)
(
You can use loads from the Sierra 32 grain below)
I have not used these loads myself.

Thanks Wrz. I'll give those VG's a try with RL-7.
