This is a review from one of our client;

If you are part of the “RL26  powder” thread you have already seen this, but I felt it was somewhat useful and could use it’s own thread.

I have seen other people make threads on this subject, but nearly every one I have seen, the tests were conducted on different days,

which can inherently induce some inconsistencies, and may not be a fair test. I am not by any means saying that the test I conducted was without flaws,

I just feel that it may take out some of the possible variables. And I do plan on repeating this test in the future to check for consistency.

So here is how I conducted my test. I put 5 rounds in a zip lock bag in my freezer overnight,

then on my way to the range I put the rounds in a bucket filled with ice, and put my kestrel inside so I had a temperature I could monitor and record.

The other rounds were kept at room temperature in my house, then on my dashboard in my truck on the way to the range.

When I got to the range and set up my chronograph, I got my bucket of ice and pulled my kestrel out and looked at the temp,

it registered 17° f, but by the time I thought to get my phone out and take a picture, it had warmed up to the 37, as the ambient temp outside was in the high 60’s.

After this I put my kestrel in my ammo box with my room temp rounds, so it could stabilize and tell me the temperature of those rounds while I fired the other ones.

First I shot the chilled rounds, pulling them out of the ice one at a time, and I shot them within about 3 seconds of chambering them,

and recording velocity.

Then after that, I let my barrel cool to room temp, then looked at the temp in my ammo box, which was 67 ° f. Then I shot those 5 rounds, and recorded velocity.
