Re: RL19 Powder consistency

The load I worked up was 66.0 grains of RL19 with 168 grain Berger VLDs seated .002 off the lands. I used CCI Mag primers. I have only tested this up to about 35 degrees so I'm not usre what it will do when the weather warms up. As usual, these are results with my rifle so start much lower and work your way up watching for pressure signs. My 5 shot hundred yard group was .390.

Re: RL19 Powder consistency

Watch out on the temps. As the temperatures climb, so will the pressure especially with the bullet just on the lands. I work up loads in the maximum temperature range in which I may shoot, which here is in the 90 - 100 range. When the temp drops, everything is still good.
