Works nicely in my wife’s .338 WM, pushing 225 grain TTSX’s? 😉 memtb

Used to use RL-22 in the .300 Win Mag with 180s, obtaining high velocity and excellent groups.
Switched to N560 because it made better groups.
N560 gave the same velocity per charge weight as RL-22 with the particular components I was using.

I've had good success with it in 6.5x55 with the 140 Partition and 46.0-46.5 grain charge weights. I think I settled on 46.0. Shoots very well in two different No. 1 rifles.

I used it successfully for years in 338 Win Mag, 225g bullets. Only problem was that all load development was done in California during moderate or warm weather. Chronographed loads in Montana in winter in below freezing temperatures and the loss of velocity was 3-400 fps. I switched to more temp tolerant propellants though I had never had issues on hunts.

Use rl-22 in the 25-06 with 100 gr. Bullets and 110 grain accubonds.
Bug hole groups and high speed. 3320 fps avg with 100 gr. With 58 grains of the stuff.
Same size groups and 3250 fps 110 gr. accubonds with 56 grains of the stuff.
They are warm loads, proceed with caution. The m700 with a 22 inch bbl works well with them.
The accubonds leave bigger exit holes. The 100 gr partition load quickly anchored a big, well worn ivory cow elk for the wife a few seasons back.

I bought some because I bought a rifle in .243 Win. The previous owner worked up a great load with RL-22 and NBT in 95gr.
