[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 694868, member: 48043"] I haven't seen any accuracy issues with rl powders themselves, and I've burned a bunch and buy them in kegs. I do see the barrel/ bullet relationship changing a bunch depending on temp.. I had a load with my 7stw shooting in the .3"s at 100 yards in the 50-70 degree range with rl25 and a 171 barnes match, it puked to 2" or more when it got over 90 degrees outside. This is where it went wonky; I grabbed some hunting loads with rl22 and 140 sierra's, and right after I shot a crappy group with rl25 and a 171 barnes in hot weather, the 140's drilled 5 into an inch at 100 with a boiling hot barrel. It turned out it wasn't the powder, but the bullet that was having problems with the high temperatures. I'm staying with tougher bullets; the match bullets for critters thing isn't for me. [/QUOTE]
