[QUOTE="Delta Hunter, post: 104858, member: 441"] I made the following post on another site back in September. Might be relevant here since the subject is RL22: I was recently perusing the results from 1000 yard benchrest matches held this year at the North Carolina and Iowa 1000 yard benchrest assoc. facilities. Each club posts the results of the matches on their respective websites. Looking at the results of these matches I found some interesting information (to me at least) regarding the powders that are being used at these matches. For each relay of each match, I jotted down the powder brand and type that was used to produce the smallest group of that particular relay. Here are the results for the 230 relays I recorded. Powder/ # of winning groups/ % of winning grps RL22 / 75 / 32.6% RL25 / 59 / 25.7% H4831 / 41 / 17.8% H4350 / 9 / 3.9% RL19 / 8 / 3.5% VVN165 / 8 / 3.5% VARGET / 7 / 3.0% WMR / 4 / 1.7% RL15 / 3 / 1.3% H1000 / 3 / 1.3% IMR4350 / 3 / 1.3% VVN560 / 3 / 1.3% RETUMBO / 2 / 0.9% IMR4046 / 2 / 0.9% IMR4831 / 2 / 0.9% H380 / 1 / 0.4% I find this interesting because of the way Alliant powders seem to dominate these events. RL22 and RL25 account for almost 60% of the smallest groups recorded. Hodgdon is represented pretty well too, but is still a very distant second. I'm surprised that IMR powders produced so few winners. IMR7828, a favorite of mine, didn't show up at all! I don't know what conclusions can be drawn from this limited bit of information. Most of us don't shoot at 1000 yards, but it would seem logical to assume that a powder capable of producing fine accuracy at that distance would be a good choice for shorter distances too. Currently I don't have any Alliant powders on hand, but I think I'll be buying some soon, LOL. [/QUOTE]
