[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1279759, member: 30902"] You're getting some pretty good advice above. I'd add this, you probably won't get good results with RL33 unless you're pushing 180gr bullets or heavier. So far in the three calibers I've used it on it's best utility is with the heavy for caliber bullets. RL23 and RL26 do better with the mid weight bullets giving surprisingly high velocities and low ES. As a general rule I like to do my load development in temps slightly warmer than I plan to be hunting in, that way if there is going to be a pressure issue I want to see it before I get into a critical situation. Temperatures here can swing easily by a hundred degrees through the course of the year so it's always interesting. If I'm seeing any pressure signs at all during load development in the spring or summer I back off a good bit. H1000 is another very good powder for cases of this volume. [/QUOTE]
