Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles R15 and 22

Saw both at LGS yesterday. The R15 was even available as a jug. I think it was the 4-5lbr.

$63/lb

I saw RL 15, 16, 19, 22, at a small shop this past Tuesday. 69 dollars per lb. Im glad Ive got other powders to use. Probably got a lifetime supply of IMR 7828, IMR-4831, IMR 4895, Big Game, Varget, to name a few.

No way I'm paying $69/lb. , like you I've found other powders.

Yep. I’ve got enough rl-22 to last until I die. I’ll miss rl-16 in my .22BR, but there’s other powders out there.

I’ll bring 6 lb of RE26 to the Tulsa show. I was thinking $50/lb, but I think I’ll be asking more now.

Shoulda stockpiled while the gettin was golden

Iwould have to do a count to make sure but I beleve I have 14 lbs of RL-15 at the moment. I am 76, hopefully, it will last until I am done. I do use lot of it though.

Unfortunately, I only have about 1.5# of RL-22. I may finally have to work up an H-4350 or H-4831 SC load for my 225 gr .338 Win Mag uses.

V V N-560 is just a bit faster. Not exactly interchangeable, but close. It has a minimal pressure threshold. Once past that, it's brilliantly consistent. Pricey, though.
