Reloader 15 and Varget in LWRC Repr?

[Adician]

Hey all, I've got a bunch of reloads all around 43 grains of reloader 15 and varget. Would there be any problem using these in a LWRC Repr?

I've heard varget is okay, I'm just curious as to the RL15.

Why wouldn't they work?

Worried about the gas being too quick and damaging the piston system, or too slow and releasing too much gas out of the chamber. Gun is suppressed.

Varget and RL-15 are both in the normally safe range for most repeaters, including the M-1 Garand. If it's safe for the Garand, it should be safe for any other auto-loader.

You are putting way too much thought into this.

I'd prefer to put too much thought into a $3500 rifle rather than too little.

I don't blame you.

I'd say both those powders are perfectly fine - load and have fun.

some reloading manuals tell which powders are fine for gas guns

RL15 works great in my gap ar10.

I run H4895 in my REPR, never a complaint. JPG

I run smk 168s over varget.42 grs seems a good load, at least one sub moa group at 100 yds. but I've only just started load development. REM 9 1/2 primers.20" REPR.44 grs showed no signs of overpressure.
