Sauer 150Re: Norma powder and Reloader powder
Yes it is but Alliant RE 19 varies a bit from lot to lot, Norma doesn't.
You can have one single lot of Re 19 being different by 1 maybe 1,5 grs, but from Bofors who makes them both it's the same powder.

Re 19-Norma 204
Re 22-Norma MRP
Re 25-Norma MRP II
Norma has one powder 201 that is in between 200 and 202. I think there is a new Re 9 but I have no axcess to it so I can't say whether they are similar.
Hope this helped you out a bit

M 98im just stating what i have experinced...EXAMPLE 30/06
NORMA 204 57 GN MV 2801 PSI 64200
R 19 60 GN MV 2757 PSI 59400
to me this diffrence appears to great for these powders to be the same even taking lot to lot variation.....you work R19 up to the vel and pressue of N 204 and you have got a diffrence of 4 grain...

M 98with all the testing i have done N204 is not the same powder as RE 19 .....FACT...VELOCITY AND PRESSURE DO NOT CORRESPOND!

DutchThere is a RE10X, but I'm not sure what the Norma equivalent is, or if there is one.
The closest double base powder available in the US to 201 is Ramshot Xterminator (made in Belgium). FWIW, Dutch.
