Reloader 26 replacement?

I had the opposite happen ,developed loads in Florida in the eighties temperature wise, hunting in Alabama 26° you might as well been shooting to 308. point of impact changed, velocity fell off the face of the Earth. no more reloader 22.
When it works properly, it's a great powder; however, when it goes whacky on you, look out! No Bueno!!

I bought some rl26 to try in one of my 338 rums with 210 gr swift scirrocos and while I was almost able to hit 3500 fps, the accuracy just wasn't there for me. I have a pound and a half available if someone needs some pm me.
 
I worked a load for my friends 300 Wsm . It's a sako 26 in barrel . We loaded 65.4 gr of h4350 wlrm primer . We used 205 Berger elite hunter bullets . We had to set ogive length at 2.286 because his gun has a clip which limits seating length . But out of his 26 in barrel it chronagraphed 3063 FPS using a lab radar chrony and it shoots consistent 1/2 groups at 100yrds . Every gun is different Work up slowly ! Es was 8 & sd was 3.2
