I have been working with rl22 andthe 140gr ab, and the rl22 is very temperature sensitive, my loads 66.5 gr room temp from car av speed 3020fps, 20 min-30 min later same load av speed 2850fps. I was expecting a loss but thats to much, so I'm looking for a powder thats less sensitive to temp change and I've heard that Vihtavuori is more consistent, so which one should I get?
Thanks

N560 is the best for speed, at least in my Rem700. But N160, N165 and N170 work very well too, N160 for the lighter, N170 for the heavy bullets. I have no experience with other powders than Vihtavuori, maybe due to the 60 miles to the Lapua powder plant...
