[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1117569, member: 9551"] Sorry about omitting RL-33 from the NitroCheme list. Alliant may [B][I]advertise[/I][/B] that Reloader 23 is temperature insensitive. I will ask you, "is Reloader 22 or 25 temperature insensitive?". Those powders are made in the same factory as Reloader 23. I will bet the amount of [I][B]retardant[/B][/I] is the only difference between Reloader 19, 22, 23 and 25. At the time that I began reloading for my favored Model 70s and Mauser 98s, surplus 4831 and H870 were the slowest powders available. Norma 205 became briefly available but it was expensive and hard to find. Then Alliant Reloader 22 became available and a game changer. I shot tens of pounds of it in the .264 Win, 270 Weatherby, 7mm Remington Mag and 300 Weatherby Magnum. I developed a lot of loads like the 200 Speer flat base spitzer over Reloader 22 in the 300 Weatherby or the 140 Partition over RL-22 in the 7mm Remington Mag. My 400 yard coyote load was Reloader 19 with 100gr Sierras in the 264 Win Mag. It was the 1990s before H-1000 and RL-25 became available. [/QUOTE]
