Posted By: Taconic11 Reloader 19 replacement - 10/01/23
I've always run RL-19 in 243 and 30-06. I'm running low and can't seem to find it available. What is a good replacement? I see that Ramshot Hunter has about the same burn rate?

I have tried both those powders.I like Hunter.

H4831SC replaces RL19. IMR4350 or H4350 also works well in 30-06 and 243.

This. I’d also give Hunter a try. I’m becoming a Ramshot fan more and more…

I’ve only used Hunter in a 280 with 140’s and it shoots really well.

Try H4831SC and H4350.

I haven't found it necessary with my 30-06, but it may well tighten the groups up a bit. Worth trying for your own rifle.

Good stuff here.
If anyone has any of this stuff laying around, it's a great substitute for RL19:

A buddy in Reno sold me this 8 pounder for $200.00, a few months ago. I've burned a bunch of this stuff in my 300wm's and 338wm's when I was younger. Seems every time I saw RL19 listed, I also saw AA3100, right next to it.
