[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 977727, member: 48043"] There are just certain times where you need a certain powder for a certain performance without jumping to a bigger cartridge. With my 35 whelen [B][I]the[/I][/B] powder is rl15; any other powder is 100-150 fps slower in my rifle. Same thing with my 300rum and 225 grain bullets with rl33... In my 7rum retumbo seems to be a racehorse. I don't discount using any powder totally but I will shy toward double base over single base as double base has a bit more energy per grain. Until they invent a temp. stable rifle, a temp. stable bullet, and a temp. stable shooter I won't be too worried about using temp. stable powder every time I wiggle the trigger. There are too many variables to eliminate one and say "we're good" and wash our hands of any need to account for variables. [/QUOTE]
