[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1187041, member: 63138"] H1000 was tested by Barnes bullets and was shown to be one of the best for insensitivity to temperature changes (along with Ramshot Magnum). RL-33 on the other hand has an acknowledged drift with temperature of 0.5 fps per degree F of temp change per the manufacturer. Your mileage may vary (will vary). If you want high velocity at relatively low pressure RL-33 is one of the best in overbore magnums. I find that I can live with the temp drift since I develop hunting loads in the same temps I anticipate shooting them. H1000 is on the other end of the spectrum. For pure performance it sucks compared to RL-33. Of course velocity is not the whole story. ES is also important and while RL-33 is decent in this department H1000 is no slouch either. Bottom line, when I want to slow a load down I reach for the H1000. When I want to go screaming fast the choice is RL-33. [/QUOTE]
