[QUOTE="steelhead, post: 555220, member: 5773"] Highridge, Thanks. Have you noticed any temperature sensitivity issues with RL25? In the past I have seen this with this powder, however, I know that Alliant changed some of the formulas to their various powders, like RL15, to be less temperature sensitive, so this may have happened with RL25 also. Eric, I may indeed have a 'slow' barrel. I'm going to shoot some of these loads out to 300 and 500 and see what happens. If I remember correctly when I was developing my Sierra load it seems like my chrono was lying to me and my velocity was a lot faster. (either that or the BC value I used was way off). I seem to remember after shooting for groups at 300 and 500 and then entering how many inches off the aiming point I was, the Exbal program, altered my velocity by a significant amount. It was really strange to me at the time, but the new velocity value has been pretty much spot on out to 2000 yards. Hopefully I can report back soon on my results. If the computer models that I've ran are correct, than this bullets going to be my goto bullet for these long range shoots. [/QUOTE]
