Hercules or Alliant RL-22 is the same stuff aside from the nomal lot-to-lot variance, because it is all made by Norma.

If you don't trust it you can send it to me and I'll dispose of it.... 64gr at a time in my 30-06...

Slower

I would work it the same as the current RL-22, but when working-up loads, I would start low (which is advisable when working-up any load).
