Temp sensitivity of RL powders. Never seems to be a problem with me. WTH?

[QUOTE="7stw, post: 711462, member: 22854"] I think that it may be a powder volume , as well as the type. What I mean by that is , I used to use rl22 in a 25-06, and never experienced any performance changes during temp swings. But when using larger magnum cases, approaching or exceeding 90 grains, that's where it seems to show up. ( at least with me anyway). I am a fan of the RL series powders as well. I presently use, 19, 22, 25, and 17. Of those powders, the 17 seems to be less sensitive then 19, and 22. I have been doing some work with RL25 in my 7 STW custom. So far, I really like it's performance, and it too seems to be less sensitive, then 22. I still use RL22, in another rifle, and always will. I just know what temps it performs better in, and typically, hunting season is it's zone. The RL powders somehow inherited the temp sensitive rep, but I'll keep using them. [/QUOTE]
