Rl 16 vs h4350

[teddyw19]

Anyone have any experience with rl 16. With summer here h4350 can be hard to find and I live in a hot and humid area and need a good temp stable powder.

I have used both powders in both .243 Win and .260 Rem. In both cases I got better velocity with the RL16, but worse accuracy and ES/SD values. They seemed similar from a temperature sensitivity standpoint.

thanks man. I shot them under a chrono today and found the same thing. my groups were around an inch when i know my rifle is capable of half inch groups. and my velocities were very inconsistent.
