But I would tend to use RL-23 over other powders mentioned (including RL-26) if any hunting would take place colder than around 20 degrees.

Hi John,
Would your recommendation for RL-23 over RL-26 hold for larger cases like the .300 Weatherby with a 168 gr TTSX? I usually only elk hunt with that rifle and the temperatures sometimes fall below 20 F to single digits. RL-26 seems to do ok so far. Thanks in advance!
