[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1280400, member: 63138"] Levi I've been using RL-33 for several years now hunting in the Northwest including Montana where it gets pretty cold and I think what you describe will work fine. I develop loads this time of year (it is 39 degrees right now) and that is in the ball park of temps you see around here during hunting season. As you suggested, a 40 degree range should be OK. Do test for temp drift to see what your load does in your rifle. Then you will know when you are out of bounds of that ballpark As to performance, nothing out there beats the powders Alliant imports from Nitrochemie. I'm using them all including RL-50 in my 264 WSM. RL-26 is really impressive in my 270 WSM, 7mm WSM and 300 WSM too and for that matter also in my 30-06. I have started to play with RL-23 just in case I need a really stable powder. It will cost you 100 fps but is supposed to be rock solid when exposed to temperature extremes. It of course is made by Bofors and uses a completely different technology. By the way, I love my 28 Nosler. It is basically a better behaved version of the 7mm RUM. [/QUOTE]
