[QUOTE="scf, post: 1226700, member: 62116"] I had a really bad experience three years ago with RL33 in a 7mm STW. I mistook the product code number for the lot number and went on an elk hunt with a new lot of powder. Needed a follow up shot on an elk and empty was stuck in chamber. Banging on the bolt resulted in the ejector (Remington factory) losing grip and left the empty in the chamber. I had to reduce the load 2.3 grains just to get the bolt to open with the new lot. I learned three things ( don t use 7mm for elk, use stronger ejectors and make absolutely certain of your lot number). [/QUOTE]
