Ramshot Magnum good powder?

[Outlaw6.0]

I'm screwed! All of my favorite powders are the most temp sensitive. The good thing is I only develop in 80+ temps.

I was thinking the same thing. Then again, that just means more Magnum for me.

I already have a decent supply of most "can't find" powders out there. Good thing is several are coming back, bad news is the price for it.

I don't have and have never bought any 16, 23 or 26, but do have 1# of 15.5. I was able to obtain 33 thru a member on here. I rarely shoot when below 50*, so all should be good.

I've only seen RL26 one time here since 2020. A local gun store told me they got a very small shipment in back in October or November and it was the first shipment they had gotten in over 2 years.

I've been using Ramshot Magnum in 6.8 Western with good results. Better velocity than H1000 it seems. The latest burn rate charts from Hodgdon do not seem to have Ramshot Magnum anymore. However there is the newish Ramshot Grand which may be worth trying.

I use 79 grains of Ramshot magnum in my Benelli R1 in .300 Win Mag with 180 grain Barnes TTSX bullets and get excellent results. I can cover 2 shots with a quarter
