Trying not to base my reloading on one powder [remember when Varget was not available] I've been looking for some RL 15,16, & 17 for some load 6 CM development . NO one has any, not PV,Bruno's Graf&sons,no one.
 
I just over paid by $11.00 for a 1 lb'er of 15. It was an impulse buy at a new shop I stopped by at. Two weeks ago I got a 1 lb'er for $26 at my normal place. Yesterday, I paid $37...:rolleyes:

Sincerd,
When I had a brain fart one evening I ordered a RH Savage Tactical {I'm Left Handed} in 6 CM. I also ordered the Lyman PRS book.
Checking what Lyman listed for loads I found I had three powders they listed. Long story short, The RL 15* load with 108 ELD's shoots
< MOA out to 300 yds.
I was headed to the 600 Yd.range today but some county govt. idiots doing a "controlled burn" let the fire get away from them. Several homes were lost, and I've been helping neighbors that were effected. Maybe tomorrow.
Reading here, I read where RL 16 is used with the 105-108's and RL 17 is used with the 110-115.
H 4530 has been ordered
As Rosana Rosana Danna used to say " Ain't it always something"
8208 is my go to powder for my 77 gn. AR loads, besides the 6 CM RL 15 is my back up to N 203B in 308 AR's
* I think they use a little coal dust because patch's look like they were in a coal mine.
 
Yea I've got an 8 of rl15 ill probably never use. Sucks but I've got like 4 other powders I'd rather use. For some reason I get bad velocity with it. I bought it used... maybe it just got old?
