[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1352068, member: 30743"] With Alliant powders, just like other brands, you can't make a blanket statement of performance. Some powders are temp stable and stable across the lots while others not so much so. RL22 is probably the most temperature sensitive powder I've ever worked with in the 7mm rem mag, so much so that I refuse to use it any more. RL26 is much more temp stable but didn't give me the accuracy, ES and SD that H1000 does. It does give good velocity, but wasn't as consistent or temp stable as H1000. My problem with the H1000 I got was lot to lot consistency, not the powder itself. An 8 lb. can fixed that. I'm not brand loyal when it comes to powder, I use whatever I can find works best for the given application. The major powder suppliers are just resellers anyway, they don't actually make the powders they sell. Hodgdon, Alliant, Ramshot, etc. source their powders from many different plants, just because it says Alliant on the label it doesn't mean that it has anything in common with another powder in their line.
