RL 15.5?

[littlebighorn]

Is anyone using this powder in a pet load? I'm curious what cartridge, etc.
I just had a guy sell me 8lbs@ $20/lb. If nothing else, I can start fires with it.

You may have looked this up, but here’s what the site says.

 

[littlebighorn]

Yes,
Unfortunately I don't currently own any of the recommended cartridges.

Wonder how good it would work for a 7mm-08 or a 7 PRC

I know that I had a sub 1/2” load with Barnes 120g in 7-08 using RL-15 (which I can’t find). If I’d gotten the deal, I’d be doing load development.

Boy I wish you were closer.
That stuff is unobtanium here!
In a 243 or 6.5 CM that stuff is golden!!!!!

I'd share if you want to make a road trip out west gl. I bought it because it is unobtainium everywhere.
This guy was practically giving away lots of stuff. Makes me a little worried about his mental state.
I have a 6.5 CM so I was planning to give that a go.
He also sold me a great action for cheap, which actually has me even pondering a 25 CM.

Thanks for the offer!
Go for it! (Don't tell @Muddyboots. He's in Michigan and would probably make the trip )

TS15.5 is absolutely worthless powder, no better than gravel. I am such a nice guy will take it ALL off your hands to protect you from this stuff. Just sayin....

And I thought we were friends.
Drive out to Utah Muddy and if you can make it through the weather and bad roads to my house, I'll maybe share my "gravel"!

Just look @ Muddy's loads (posted). They're eye uopening!!!

 

[bodeen]

Yes. Works excellent in my M1A (6.5 CM) with the 110 HH. 3,140, 1/2” group.

I have been evaluating powder fill rate to velocity and arrived at TS 15.5 as possible high velocity load. Finally got to range to finish off. Rifle: 700 VLS 26" bull barrel, 1:9.25tw Lapua brass 2x FM210 70 Hammer Hunter CBTO 2.264 COAL 2.730 Crimp 1/8 I skipped over several levels of load...

I've loaded RE15.5 in my 6mmBR. It produces the exact same velocity with the same charge weight as Varget in the 6BR.

Maybe I can find some of this gravel?
