I've shot RL26 from 20° all the way up to 80° (It's very erratic with pressure in warm weather) at distance and never saw a big enough spread to make me stop using it. That's a good score though. I managed to snag 5lbs of Varget from Powder Valley recently after trying to get my hands on it since February for a 6 BR I recently had built. It's a feeling that my wife must get over new shoes. Lmao

I saw a wall of GMM primers on the shelf the other day. They were like $79/box which I guess all things considered isn't that bad though it's twice as much as the last time I bought a brick of them.
The RL26 velocity gain is so enormous for the .270 Win that I can live with its temp concerns. I don't shoot in temps above 75 just my way to manage consistency.
And much lower sweat factor for the Shooter too....unless you live in Georgia...those Mint Julips will cool you off!
Question for you chemist gurures, Have you ever pulled a bullet to find that the powder was set like concrete? I January 1977 l loaded 80 rounds of 220 swift with old 4831 with 55 grain pills, got my new swift to day with a 8 twist, so I was going to pull bullets and load some Berger 70 grain.. well that powder is set up. Good thing I didn't try too shoot them up..can lube do that to powder? Don't know what I used back then. Primers still work..looks like a little corrosion, green stuff coming out with scrapping... do you think the brass is shot? 220 brass is like hens teeth, my be worse...my try a few redused loads to se if the brass can take it. Am I wrong to try?. Thank Guys.
