I keep a lot of it on hand because it is so versatile. I use it in .22-250, 6,5x55, 9,3x62, 9x57, 9,3x57, .35 Whelen and several others. In some it gives great velocity, in others it doesn't achieve top velocities. That said, it has never failed to provide better than MOA accuracy.

Bear, youre loading for some darn good calibers, aye?
My thoughts on RL 15:
Ooh and ahh all yas want over big game, rl 17, Mr-2000 or any newer powder that might have some magical advantage.
RL 15 will always do the same thing. It's all over the place as well, availability wise.

30-30, 308, 35 Whelen are my top three, but the 35 Whelen is by far my favorite use for R-15, particularly with heavy cast bullets.

I like it best for the 303 Brit. It's always given me good accuracy and velocity wit the 174-180 grain bullets.

I use RE15 in the .35 Whelen. With my rifle and the 225 gr. TSX, it's a marriage made in heaven.

I'd have to add one to it: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/hzq5syf.jpg) Its just great chidt. I saw some at the LGS the other day and had to buy a couple pounds of it. Funny you can still find RL15 when a lot of my other favorite powders are unobtanium right now...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Sounds like a great powder. I’ll have to try some. They had 17 in shop today, maybe 15.

RL15 is next to impossible to find.. but I just use in my 375 H&H. I use AR comp in my 223 Wylde. H4895 in the 224 Valkyries. Speaking of H 4895 that’s next to impossible to find as well.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
