Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Reloader 15

It is my go to powder for 308 Win, 250 and 300 Savage. Great accuracy, meters well, I would not be without it.

303 Brit. The powder for it when I was messing with it. 30-30 for sure.

Never could get BG to work that well with 120's, although I use it with 150's in another 7-08. Groups at 100 yards always looked good with BG but once I tested out beyond 300 yards the groups would open up a lot. [/quote]

NAGW, but
I’m not sure I understand that. If it shoots good at 100 yds, how can the powder affect accuracy beyond? I’m not trying to be argumentative here, but once the powder gets the bullet moving at good velocity, how can said powder have any affect on the bullet out beyond 100 yards.if it was good at 100? I may be wrong thinking on this, and if so, someone please explain it to me.

It works great, Mike. Just run it through the 22HP sizer. That second shoulder goes away when you fire it. It's a "no sweat" deal. Go for it. They're based on the 30-30.

PS...load some with those .224 64gr Nosler Bonded bullets. They should work fine, and they're a good deer/antelope bullet. With their stubby tips they should stabilize well at any speed, IMO.

thanks for the nudge boys. picked up another 5lbs

25gr and 75gr amax doesn't suck from the 20"

It works alright. Didn't rely on someone else's load data either...Well, maybe the Nosler load manual..


Works equally as well in a .223 rem...

You dam sure have got plenty of mileage out of that pic.

As he should.....a group to be proud of.

Great versatile powder. With what's going on these days finding a powder that can do pretty well over a wide range of cartridges and maybe really well with a few is a solid consideration. While I haven't used it in years last week I gave $200 for 8# of 4320 at my LGS that will work over a pretty wide range of rounds. My son's will likely empty it.

If by chance you find Norma 203B it's basically the same powder

MD, Interesting & I did not know that - it would be interesting to publish (maybe there is already) a stickey about powders & their alias’

I'd be interested for sure.

it does say made in sweden on the front of the jug

I just had better luck fine tuning my load with R15 than BG using 120 BT. If I had more time I'm sure I could have got it tuned better. I'm very limited with time at my range.

Any one have load data for re15 in the 358 win with 200 and 225 gr bullets

I just spent an hour looking on Alliant's website, to no avail. Is Reloader 15 and Reloader 16 the same animal? 16 is supposed to be temp stabilized but I am trying to save on components and not work up from scratch...substituting 16, which I have, from 15 which I have less than a pound. Hard times, don't want to waste components developing loads if I could just sub 16 for 15.

You might refer to 338 Federal data. With its same case capacity and smaller diameter it should be mild loads for the 358 with same weight bullets.

Thanks luv2safari

243 Win with 70 grain Sierra Blitz Kings. I shot a couple of F-Class matches just for fun with that combo and got 10s and Xs until the wind picked up.

No. Not the same powder.
