Looking for stable, consistent powder that gets a 150gr projectile in the 3k range. Never played with this one yet.
What have you all used. I have a pile of RL15, RL22 on hand, H-1000 and Retumbo. Small batches of 4198 and some others that wont likely work.

162 Amax @ 2950 with 7828 and 160 accubonds 2940 with R22 Both at 60.5 gr of powder. Accubonds shoot 3/8 " at 200 and the Amaxs make 1 hole @ 200. WLR primers and Nickel Winch brass.

I’ve used RL22 for years in mine. Great velocity and accuracy.

Not sure about the AI version, but Vitavouri N160 and N550 work quite well and hit right at 3Kfps in a 22" barrel with a 150g bullet in a non AI.

RL23 is better than RL22. I used 22 before 23 came out. 3070fps with 162 24" barrel 3220fps 140 24" barrel and 3240fps with 140 in another 24" barrel all 3 with RL23

I'd probably try 26 before 23. But 22 works so well, there is absolutely no reason to change

Why would you try 26 before 23?

I-7828 and R-26 work best in my two rifles, with 150s and 160s.

I prefer the tried and true H4831SC but there are numerous good ones that are temperature insensitive...

Super T, Temp stable. So I am reducing velocity variations related to temperature.
