I saw this on Alliant's web site:
Reloder 15
Smokeless medium rifle powder
The best all-around medium speed rifle powder providing excellent .223 and .308 caliber performance. Selected as the powder for U.S. Military's M118 special ball long range sniper round.
Broad caliber range
Consistent in all temperatures
High velocity varmint loads
My questions are as RL 15 has a reputation of being temperature sensitive, wouldn't a different powder be a better choice in a sniper round? Or is the sensitive thing not really that big a deal? Or is RL 15 not very sensitive and just got a incorrect bad reputation?
(I really like RL 15 by the way)
