Looking for review of R16-R17 165 using grain bullets
I've gone through 8 lbs of rl 16 in various cartridges. I couldn't think of a better powder for the 30-06.
Winter caribou hunts, temp stability of powder is more important than velocity.
A rifle could be heat soaked, drying out near woodstove after a spill on the snowshoes. Herd of caribou pop out 400 yds.
Another instant, rifle could be cold-soaked after a 40 below zero night.
Guess which powder maintains dmn near the exact velocity and zero?
Anyhow, most of yall on here don't hunt where a rifle sees that level of extreme temperature change.
Keep chasing top velocity, RL 16 might not make the cut.
