Cody Adams, what have you found with rl26 in regard to temp sensitivity? I started with one pound to see if the velocity legend was true, I just ordered an 8 pounder so I want to get to know it. Thank you
I'm finding some happiness with RL19 and 17. I'm going to work with them all summer and see what I can get the best results with.
What's strange to me is they are also giving me some very acceptable results int he .375 Ruger but it looks like RL33 or H1000 are going to work best with the 6.5LRM.
That's great. If you can see 7 fps on target you're a much better man than me. Very good news.Here is a test/write up I did. I saw very little variation, however only my ammunition was set to temperature, my rifle was ambient temp.

Thanks. I've already got about 50lbs of powder laying around even after I cleaned house a few months back so I may just have to "make due" for a while. I picked up 3lbs of the RL17 and if it works well then I'll know that maybe the RL16 is worth a try come fall.With Data now available for the RL 16, it looks good and is supposed to be temp stable, and is reported as having the same burn rate as the RL 17.
Worth a try.

I've been through about 5 pounds of it so far in the .260, .264, 300wm, 300 Rum, and 7 STW and found it very consistent.That's great. If you can see 7 fps on target you're a much better man than me. Very good news.
That is excellent, I have used in 4-5 lbs as well, mostly in my .260 AI, and a little bit in a 7mm rem mag.I've been through about 5 pounds of it so far in the .260, .264, 300wm, 300 Rum, and 7 STW and found it very consistent.
My only complaint is that with the case capacity of the .260Rem I didn't feel like I was really getting the velocity I was hoping for.That is excellent, I have used in 4-5 lbs as well, mostly in my .260 AI, and a little bit in a 7mm rem mag.
