More expensive to feed, but worth it.

It was Trainer-Hale Shooters Supply in Marion Tx, bordering north-east San Antonio, http://www.trainerhalesupply.com/ and yes they had plenty of one and five pound containers.
You sir are awesome....many, many thanks. Just got off the phone and my resupply of that wonderful stuff will be shipped Monday.
I hear yall have a few HP Silhouette matches still running in the San Antonio area?

Interestingly the military used RL15 in its 7.62 long range sniper round used in both Iraq and Afghanistan with no issue of heat sensitivity. The RL15 I use is from pulled LR sniper rounds. That ammo has been modified recently with a new powder that affords under 2% velocity variation in extreme temps ----Rl15 was at 2% between -15 below and 130F. If you're loading at presumed max...then be advised
