Reloader 15 has worked superbly with every load I have tried in my 308 rifle. I haven't run the load across a chronograph personally, but Hogdgon claims 3100 fps using 130 grain bullets and 49 grains of Reloader 15 from a 26" barrel. My rifle has 1-9.5" twist and liked the 130's at 100 yards but not beyond. For some reason accuracy fell off sharply. Perhaps one of the slower twist barrels would like them better. The thing I personally prefer about Reloader 15 is that the velocity variation from shot to shot is extremely small. The last bunch I ran across the chronograph had a 17 fps spread for the 50 shots I tested, which is superb and means that the powder is very consistent and easy to meter. | ||

Michael in response to this and your question on the other thread: No I haven't tried the lighter bullets yet, but I am very pleased with Reloder 15 so far. It's worth a try. So far, I have only found data for Barnes and Speer. Work up loads cautiously. Barnes: 130 XBT Speer: 125 and 130 are combined Min 46.0 2756 fps | ||

I have excellent results with RL15 and 130 XBT's in my factory Rem 700. I shoot about .6 inch groups with this powder and bullet combo. | |||
