    If you haven't already got powder, go with Re 16. It's less temp sensitive and still give similar speeds. I haven't tried it myself but will be switching once I run out of Re 17.
    Sierra's accuracy load for 160 TMK is 45.5 Gr Re 16 for 2700fps from a 24" barrel.

    Bit more of a temp swing through seasons down south and have you chronod the load at different temps? Of course you won't have issues if the loads developed in summer but the speed may drop off enough to cause issues at range.

    Run into case capacity issues with Rl16 in the 7mm08 and 160s
