Was looking at Powder Valley and laughing at all the products that were listed as OUT OF STOCK,
when I noticed a new powder ( and I'm not sure what they were thinking when number this one) RL 15.5

Here is load data posted on it....https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/rlts155loadv2.pdf

Here is what was posted on their web site about it:

Alliant Reloder TS 15.5 Smokeless Powder
For consistent ammunition, choose Alliant Reloder 15.5 smokeless powder from Powder Valley. This medium rifle powder is temperature insensitive and highly reliable.

New intermediate burn speed between Reloder 15 and Reloder 16
World-class temperature stability
Ideal for loading heavy bullets in 308 Win and 223 Rem
Enhanced velocity in 6mm Wildcats versus Reloder 15
Contains decoppering agent
Load Data Here: Reloder TS 15.5

Probably not a good time to release it, but then who would have thought Biden would win.... even by Cheating...

always good to have another horse in the stable...If I ever see it, I'll look forward to trying it out... If I live that long, who knows how long we are going to have Clueless Joe and then Commie Harris in the White House... ( side thought, If Commie Harris ends up as President, with Joe Stepping down, are they going to change the name of the White House to the Whore House?? just a thought)

democRATS suck....

Sounds like it may be an excellent choice for 250 grain bullets in the 35 Whelen

Looks like a very useful powder. I'm sure I'll grab some if I ever see it.

Heard about it around 6 months ago and it sounded like a great powder. I hope to get some.

What does whoever is in the white house have to do with gun powder burning rates?

R15.5 looks like 15 and 16 had babies. Sounds perfect for the 375 H&H where 15 excels but is not very temperature stable. I have been getting good results with R-16 and use that anywhere R17 worked before. If I see this with out hazmat shipping fees I will definitely try some.

The alliant temp-stabilized double base powders are some of the best ever made - RL16, RL23, and AR-COMP. This joins that family. However it's so close to RL16 it's hard to get too excited.

They should have done a slow magnum temp stabilized version of RL33 instead.

I made some home brewed RL 15.5...

small batch.... 50% RL 15 mixed with 50% RL 16..... enough for like 10 rounds...

it went Bang, like any other powder....

I was both surprised and proud of myself...

now I can move on with my life, and still look at the empty shelves at my local Bi Mart...

but the knitting section of the store is still well stocked, and so was the paint section...

life is still wonderful for millennials...with the man buns...

For those interested: test eval on accurate shooter

http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com...-ts15-5-powder-outstanding-test-results/

Definitely looking to try it out whenever it eventually shows up on shelves

was thinking about the 22.250 with it, especially in the one with a one in 7 twist, with 75, 80, 88 grain bullets, and other in the 80 grain range from some of the other than Hornady...

I just picked up 2 lbs. of this powder TS15.5 should work for a heaver bullet in a 308 win.
Or, whatever you think it's good for?

Any up dates for this powder?

Thanks
