Kurt,
Glad you found some rl16.
Not only does it flat out spank any other powder for temp stability, but it is the cleanest burning powder I've ever used.
After 80 rounds through my 338 rcm, the dmn bore looks like it has been brushed with bore cleaner. Thought I was loosing my mind, that maybe I had cleaned the rifle and forgot.
No notable powder residue.
It is not too dense, but compressed very well.
From below zero on the trail, to thawing out near the woodstove at 80 degrees, rl16 will not loose or change velocity.
I'm looking forward to trying it in the 416 ruger and the 9.3x62 mauser as well.
I have about 3 lbs left which is nothing.
I hope you try it out in your 280 AI and 338 rcm as well. Gotta agree on that rl16.......very stable and clean.... Michael,.......Varget is another great one and works well in my 9.3 with 250 tsx.
