[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1427235, member: 68875"] Since all of my rifles perform hunting duties, I look for powder temp stability and lot to lot consistency first in known well used burn rates. I will take 50-100fps less than absolute top speeds for stability and consistency any day in most of my rifles. I like the Hodgdon Extreme powders for most of them, like H4350, H1000, H4831SC, etc. I have found the new Alliant RL23 & 26 to be pretty temp stable as well, while delivering better speeds. I do have a speed demon in my 6.5SS that I went for top speeds, but have yet to see any big swings in speed in temps ranging from 25 to 90°. So that is a nice bonus. [/QUOTE]
