[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 598420, member: 9281"] RL 22 is a great powder and accurate, but: I had a bad experience with it a few years ago in my 300WBY. As others have mentioned above, the problem was me working up a load in 55 degree temps and then trying to use it in the hot summer. The load produced quite a bit less than .5MOA accuracy at cooler temps. One summer day I took it up in the mountains on a 95 degree day to do some across canyon shooting. When I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 1K I brought it in and shot at 375 yards. To my surprise I was lucky to keep all shots within 4 MOA! That's when I learned about temperature sensitivity and how bad RL22 was in this regard. Switched to Hodgdon H1000 and have never looked back, better ES too. [/QUOTE]
