prdator - Yeah.....I wish they sold 25 pound kegs.
In answer to your concern about the next lot of RL22 that you buy.....find a gunshop that has as many 5 pounders as you'd like to buy with the same lot#. Purchase one of them and have them hold the other's. If it gets you what you want (consistency and accuracy...whether the same POI as your last grouping with RL22 or not), return to pick up the remaining kegs. I do that all the time....my gunshop is rather large and they order in large quantities...they also love seeing me darken their door....grin. Appreciate them doing that for me, but they also are all shooters and understand the drill.
I use RL22 in my Sako 25-06 and it gets me nearly 3,300 fps with the 110 gr. AB. Very accurate. Both my 300 and 270 WSM's are also quite fond of RL22.....great combinations....made for each other.
It's amazing how fast five 5 pounders vanish loading several rifles/calibers with any powder. I'm at just less than half my original RL22 purchase and that was only 2 years ago.......lots of trigger time.
Good luck to you on your quest for the "bulk buy". It'll happen....
Let us know your results with the new lot# of RL22..
