I’ve seen it talked about numerous times on multiple forums about Rl26 being sensitive to temps, especially higher temps.
This past weekend I was listening to a Hornady podcast about powder temp sensitivity while I was working on the computer.
They said that Rl16, Rl23, and Rl26 were some of the least sensitive powders they have ever tested. From -20° to 125° it had very little change.
We use 26 in multiple different cartridges, with hunts ranging from mid 80’s to the teens and have seen exactly what Hornady found. Even range sessions in summer and winter were very consistent at distance.
Just thought I’d pass this along for those who may also use 16 and 23.
