[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2610433, member: 121677"] I have shot RL 26 in magnums quite a bit, most of my loads are developed in 80-90 degree weather, it really doesn't get truly cold here and if it does I stay home LOL, but down into the 30's and 40's for sure I don't see any issues. I have read many times where over 90 degrees RL 26 will get weird, I haven't seen it and I have shot 28N for example running HARD with loads developed at 80 in 95-100+ weather and no issues. I have seen more issues with RL33 and 90+ weather than I have with 26, and 33 will go from little to no pressure signs to a slight ejector wipe with a max max load developed in 65-70 weather shooting at 90-100 degrees. That said, I have had exceptional results with 300WM using 180-212 grain cup and core bullets and H4831SC. No, it isn't the fastest load by a lot compared to RL26, but it is exceptionally consistent across temps and accuracy has been as good or better than anything else. I load long, 3.600"+, so I am well north of published data with no pressure issues at all. My workup was 3 grains under published max at 3.34" to pressure signs in 1 grain increments. H1000 is also extremely hard to beat if not looking for warp 10 speeds. [/QUOTE]
