I recently snagged a 5lb keg of RL22 for a decent price, still deciding on what to try it in. My original plan was using it in .25-06 and .257 Roberts, but looks like its decent in .280 and .243 Win as well. I've honestly never used any before, anyone familiar with the powder?
I have used RL22 in all of those, but the 257, a good buddy used it with the 257 Roberts and 115 BT's though. I used to used RL22 for everything, 7 Rem, 7 WSM, 25-06, 270 WSM, 280, 270, 243, 300 Win, 338, etc. I liked it alot honestly. I kinda got freaked out with the temp sensitivity issues others have mentioned, but I never had the POI shifts, but I wasn't hunting in extremes outside of when I developed the loads. I typically did my load work back then in the 50-60 degree Spring days and hunted down to about 20-30 mostly.
RL22 has always been very accurate for me, easy to use and attained excellent speeds. Scoring a 5lb jug wouldn't break my heart a bit. I switched over to RL23 when it became available, but so far it hasn't worked any different than 22, other than it is supposed to be less temp sensitive.
