[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1758446, member: 38048"] I have found as has many others on this sight that rl22 is the most temp sensitive powder in the lineup. Rl 23 and RL 26 are far more stable. I prefer the hodgden extreme powders because of this. They do get slightly less velocity but don't change speed much at all over different temps. I shoot my 280ai with 169 bergers with Retumbo and get 2900 fps. I can't get any more powder in the case unless I use a drop tube so it might be too slow for your 160. On another thread guy was getting a 175 up to 2975 with rl23. He never said how much. I have got way more speed from rl26 bet not the accuracy I wanted. Have not personally tried rl23 but lots of guys on here say it the best powder for the 280ai. Shep [/QUOTE]
