Re: RL22 Temp Sensitivity findings

I shoot Rl 22 in my 338 and last time I chronoed it she was shooting 225 accubonds at 3304 and the temp was 65 degrees.

Went out yesterday and chronoed it again for an upcoming hunt and the temp was a balmy 36 degrees. Speed was 3297 average. Not too bad! I've seen H1000 lose more than 7 fps in temp swings.

Re: RL22 Temp Sensitivity findings

I have seen similar results w/RL25. The temp differance was near 80 degrees and had only 40 FPS gain. Funny thing was that the faster load was the cold load. -10 F. ???????

Watching those hunting shows is a little like reading Playboy. Those big racks are out there but they're few and far between, easier to spot than to get one of your own, and if you do get one, it usually costs quite a bit to mount it.
