[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2268622, member: 118038"] Oh, and since you are in Minnesota, you may experience really wild velocity and pressure if you take that 90.6 gr load somewhere like Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, or Colorado on a 90 degree day. I just had a recent experience with near max loads on a .338 Lapua down in Texas where it was in excess of 95 to 103 degrees. I was using N560 and RL-26, and was getting some scary velocities, I had never seen before, which means the pressures were too. So a Max load in Minnesota may cause you lots of issues somewhere hot. I believe LRT is so new, and not so many people have used it yet to know how temp sensitive it could be. I don't believe Accurate makes any claim about it being suitable for extreme conditions. So, a safer all temp powder when and if its available may be Retumbo an extreme powder or Enduron IMR 8133 which is supposed to be temp insensitive. I know exactly why you are using LRT and it seems to be a great choice for where you are, if you don't go anywhere really hot. Hope you shoot small groups with that new brake and tuner. [/QUOTE]
