With the powder shortages I can pick up a pound of this but have never used it. What calibers does this work well in?

Whelen, 7-08, 6.5’s, 243, etc. same as wherever you’d use Varget.

Besides being like Varget, if you're using 4064 or N140 for something then RL15 will fit in there pretty well too.

Not a gun writer, but RL15 is one of the powders that I don’t intend to run out of. Buy more than a pound if you can.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

My 338-06 and 375 H&H shine with it. Barely nudged out by Varget and H-4895 in the 22-250.
Also going to use it in my 416 Rem Mag

It's frashizzle with the 9.2x62 from muledeers load data. I quit about a half a grain from his max loads and about 40fps less.
Not that it matters much on a 9.3 cause most every load was really accurate.

Yep, it's 203B in a Norma can. RL-15 will work pretty well in everything 222 class up to many belted magnums, excepting the overbore items. Although even in those, while not hitting top speeds, it won't make them lethargic either.
