[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 691972, member: 9281"] This has been similar to my experience as well. A few years ago I ran RL22 in my 300Wby under 180 Barnes TSX's. It was very accurate and consistent when used in cool conditions. I worked up the load during fall which was around 55 degrees at sea level. One hot summer day I decided to take it up and bust rocks. Temp was around 90 degrees and elevation was 2000. I could not hit the broad side of a barn at 1000 yards. Keep in mind this was normally a .5MOA load at that distance. I brought it into about 400 yards and the best it would print was 3-4 MOA all around the rock I was shooting at. This is when I got a first hand education on temp sensitivity with gun powder. Shortly after I switched to H1000 and have been able to do everything with it that I could with RL22 without the crazy poi changes and accuracy loss with temp swings. The H1000 has lent itself to much better ES numbers in my rifle as well. Anything I load for now I try and use a Hodgdon extreme powder for. [/QUOTE]
