[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1291304, member: 56875"] I plan on checking velocity again this time in leaving them cold record temp and vel. and again in the summer when it's hot out starting with 46 gr. 3 shots working up comparing vel. changes so I can tell if it has any sudden changes and stop before a problem. I have a feeling that my method I used to begin with will be fairly close to summer temps 70-80 deg. Of coarse it does occasionally get up to 90 - 100 deg here and I will have to approach that with caution as well. There is a thread RL26 where a bunch have been testing it in various calibers that shows the temp sensitivity is cartridge specific. There is an article at: [url=http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2015/01/new-advanced-alliant-powders-reloder-23-and-reloder-26/]New, Advanced Alliant Powders: Reloder 23 and Reloder 26 « Daily Bulletin[/url] it says that Federal has been using it quite a bit in their ammo. Berger shows a load they tested with their 135 gr Classic Hunter with RL26 and RL17 [URL="http://www.bergerbullets.com/pdf/6.5-Creedmoor-135gr.pdf"]http://www.bergerbullets.com/pdf/6.5-Creedmoor-135gr.pdf[/URL] and a load with RL17 with 140 gr Elite Hunter [URL="http://www.bergerbullets.com/pdf/6.5-Creedmoor.pdf"]http://www.bergerbullets.com/pdf/6.5-Creedmoor.pdf[/URL] so it has been tested by bullet manufactures in 6.5 creedmoor and ammo makers in other Cartridges.
