You are correct that it is not CURRENTLY sold in an 8#.
They have in the past. I have one.
That’s pretty cool. I’ve never seen one but 8lbers would sure be nice. I think 26, 33, and 16 are the only Alliant I’ve seen in 8’s. Maybe Unique as well. Must be an old one you’ve got.
I would guess it's somewhere in the 2000 to 2003 range but I wasn't the one who bought it originally. It's after the name changed from Hercules definitely. I don't remember exactly when RL-25 came out, but it was shortly after that.
The 8#s are definitely more convenient that the 5#s.
