Bought a pound this morning from powder valley. I have a new 6.5 PRC that I want to test with this powder. What are your thoughts as to temperature sensitivity with this powder? Thanks for any help
Hi Mike, wondering if you ever ran those tests with MRP. I am sitting on a 8 LBS jug of MRP and trying to figure out what to do with as I have all the powders that I need at the moment. If I don't end up selling this MRP powder I will at a minimum test it in my 280 with 166 gr. A-tips and with my 300 WM maybe with some 180s and/or 208 ELD-Ms.. Any temp. data you can share would be helpful. Thank you sir - ChrisI use MRP in my 25-06 with 120 gr ballistic tip Nosler for years in hot and cold weather, and never had a problem with it. In the fall and winter I am planning on running some test with it. If I get my move done quicker I will start this summer, when it's hotter. A long time ago I used the load from Nosler reload manual in hot weather in S. Cal, and used it during the fall in Cal and winter in Nev, and Utah, Montana. but I wasn't really looking at that possible problem. I talking about in the late 70, into the 90's. I move up to a 308 Norma Mag in 2000. I got an upcoming with IMR powders then. I gave away the IMR powders and never used them again. So there some info, but not really enough to be sure.
I stopped worrying about temperature sensitivity for my type of shooting/hunting.Bought a pound this morning from powder valley. I have a new 6.5 PRC that I want to test with this powder. What are your thoughts as to temperature sensitivity with this powder? Thanks for any help
Here a chart on powder and how they are rated for temps. I know I had a chart on MRP powder's, but it took me so time to find it. I do use MRPpowder in a few rifles. I don't have one of my manual with me. If I remember correctly it was in a 25/06 with 120gr Nosler SPBT. They don't make them any longer.Hi Mike, wondering if you ever ran those tests with MRP.

No I haven't done much. I like the powder in my 25/06's. It group well in 4 different rifles.Hi Mike, wondering if you ever ran those tests with MRP.

Copy that, Mike. I really appreciate you spending the time to look into it. Thank you sir - ChrisNo I haven't done much. I like the powder inm my 25/06's. It group well in 4 different rifles.
Not a problem, and It straighten up my files some. I have a bad habbit of downloading items, and think I have where I can go right to. After that good luck. The good part is, it's make me straighten those files up, until the next timeCopy that, Mike. I really appreciate you spending the time to look into it. Thank you sir - Chris
