Lawrence...
I think I would be inclined to pick up a pound.. even at that price, just to check it out...
Alliant is my favorite brand of powders, followed by IMR and then a few Winchester powders....
If Rl 15.5 is bulky, that would actually be a feature I'd like about it...
are you out of Oregon now and back in Nevada for good?
if you know where it can be purchased down that way, next time I head down that way, we can get together and you can show me where I can pick up a container of it... buying a pound of it on line, and then having to pay the higher UPS charges for hazard etc... I bet one would be looking at $100 for a pound of it before it gets to one's door step...
