[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1700452, member: 19988"] I I did use some R17 and got about 50 FPS more but really inconsistent powder in different temperatures. After I had my Creedmoor load data dialed in I got my drop data done. I went back a few months latter and nothing was right. I checked my zero again and it was just over an 1” high. I didn’t change anything. Scope wasn’t loose everything was perfect on the gun. When I looked at my bullets the primer was bulging out on 2 of them and the other the case was split. I went and looked back in my reloading book that I wright in all my data I wrote down the temp and it said 74 degrees. The day I went out to have fun it was a little hotter than that at 91 degrees. It was about 100 FPS faster but just not safe. That is crazy difference just because the temperature. I stay away from RL powders cause this reason. I thank someone on here mentioned RL 26. It’s a new powder. I’ll admit I’m a little nervous on this powder cause my last experience with Alliant powders. But if it’s getting 250 FPS more out of the Creedmoor to catch my 260 I’ll try it. It would be nice for the Creedmoor just to see 2950ish FPS. [/QUOTE]
