[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1781747, member: 48043"] only a decade?? :) Many of us tried the rl powders in the mid chamberings like the 30-06 back when it was still sourced by Hercules powder. It works, but 4350 works as well. I run rl 7, 15, 17, 22, 25, 26, 33, and 50 in my rifles, it all works well when it is run properly. There are a few here grousing about temp. issues with rl22; Yup, I've seen a ~75 fps spread (0 to 100 degrees) on rl22 in my 300win. Yup, other powders may have a few less fps swing... This rifle runs well with rl22 though and has done so for over 20 years- dropped my deer this year with the 300/rl22 combo at 641 yards offhand. The secret to rl powders?? Leave the last few percent on the table and do NOT push your load to the absolute max. You will still be faster than single base and you will have a bit of wiggle room for temp. swings without the speed/ pressure getting wacky. [/QUOTE]
