[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1139671, member: 90397"] I've been working with RL23 in my 300WM since last January using mostly Berger 185 and 190 gr moly coated bullets. I like RL23 because I've been able to get fairly good accuracy (1/2MOA) and better velocity 3000+ than with H1000 before showing pressure signs using Norma brass. Qualitatively, I have pretty much convinced myself that RL23 is temperature sensitive. This summer while doing load development, I saw my 190 VLDs show 25 fps more velocity at 11AM with 0.5 gr less powder than the 185 VLDs had in the morning at 06:30AM with about 25 deg temperature difference. (All other factors being the same but temp and bullet selection that range session) I have been shooting all my load development over a Magnetospeed but have never gone back and tried to quantify statistically the variance with temperature- mostly because I have gone through a lot of load variables over the last year. Last month I picked up 8lbs of RL26 online at PV for a good price and hope to get some range time in this winter with it if I can work it in around completing a new house build. If I ever come up with what I believe is hard data on temperature affect with RL23/26 in my rifle, I will post here. [/QUOTE]
