NOSHMJ Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of this powder using the 140grn bullets? H4350 isnt avialable local nowadays and I need a good alternative. I am thinking RL-15 because it also seems to be able to be used for .308 Win. With the current times, 1 powder, 2 guns, less shopping around.. Any thoughts? Varget is also not available, just in case that would be a thought.

pmiya Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 When I was working up loads I didn't get very good accuracy and velocity was mediocre. I tried it using 140 ELDM and 143 ELDX. I had better luck with Superformance. But with the current powder situation you have to use whatever you can get. When I worked up loads I tried a lot of powders and settled with IMR4350 for 147 ELDM and Superformance for the 140 and 143. I also tried H414, H380, H4350 and IMR4831. The results with those powders were not as good as IMR4350 and Superformance. You may have better luck with RL15 than I did, every rifle is different. I am loading for 3 different Creedmoor rifles, a Howa bolt an M1A and an AR10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
