I like it for my .338mag & under 250gr bullets in my .338-06, it's doing well in my .404 too. I tried it in the 06/180gr bullets & the .280 but perf. was just ok.

It is over 90% as accurate out of my .338wm with both 210 and 225 grain bullets, but RL-22 realy makes my .338wm into a solid .6 MOA 100 yard gun. But I would hunt using eithor powder.

Can't answer for the rest, but it sure makes a 150NBT scream out of my -06, and I don't complain about the sub MOA groups it gives me either.

It's my "go-to" powder for almost everything I shoot a lot: 220 Swift over 50 gr, 338-06 AI, 375 H&H AI, 30-30, 280 AI, anything that likes 3031 to 4064.

Reloader 19 is the best powder I know of for pushing light bullets out of my 300WM or 300WSM. I shoot 168gr tsx with Reloader 19 some times basicaly 1 hole groups. Great powder near impossible to get right now north of the border.

Reloader 19 is also one of my favorite powders. I shoot it in all my guns. 280 Rem, 260 Rem, 7-30 Waters and 257 Roberts.

The Roberts likes 100 grain bullets of any brand and 50 grains of RL 19. All other listings for the Roberts with RL 19 are too wimpy. I get 3,150 fps with 50 gr load. Load can be found in the Barnes #2 loading manual. Barnes loads the Roberts to its full potential of 58,000 psi.

RL-19 pushes a 140 grain 7mm bullet nicely out of my 7 mag. Burns cleaner than IMR4350 of which I also love using.

Works for my 30/06 with 150 and 180 grain bullets, the .338 WM and the 6 mm Rem with 120 grain bullets. Very clean and universal powder.

I use RL-19
In my .338Win mag, and in my .257 Roberts I will be trying it in my 7X57 this weekend. The load previously mentiond with a 100 grain bullet and 50 grains of RL-19 Has preformed well in my little ruger RL Roberts with a 20 inch barrel but H-414 has done better yet. Groups range from.5 inch to 1.25, and velocity is 3140fps. With the Barnes tripple shock. And the H=414. I Put a target on a tree stump And my 338 would not go clear through with 225 grain Hornadys.but the X bullet from the roberts Went clear through every time blowing huge holes on the exit.

The only place I use RL-19 for is my .338 Win. It is the only powder for that caliber IMO...RL-15 will go with it for velocity but at a higher pressure...

I use 51.0gr of RL-19 in my 7-08AI with non-moly bullets. Although I use 76.0gr of RL-22 as my go-to load for my 300WinMag, sometimes I'll fireform my 300WinMag cases with RL-19 with bullets jammed hard into the lands.

I like Reloder19 for 160gr. semi-spitzers in my 6.5x55 and also use it for 100gr. spitzers in my 6mm Rem. It's quite the accurate powder for a lot of calibers. Best wishes.

Ive been trying to find some data for this powder in a 8X57, but as of yet have been unable to do so. I guess I might have to make my own..

I have'nt seen 270 wsm mentioned in the previous posts. Does anyone know how RL 19 performs in the 270wsm?

I haven't tried Reloder 19 yet in my .270WSM, but over at shortmags.org, the forums are filled with reports of outstanding accuracy and velocity with between 65 and 66 grains of R-19 and 130 gr bullets. I have been using Vihtavouri N-165 in mine and have been able to shoot groups of an inch and a quarter or better with both the Nosler 130 gr and 140 gr Ballistic Tips. The other oft mentioned powder for top velocity and accuracy in the 270WSM is Accurate's Magpro. Lots of shooters reporting velocities over 3300 fps and good groups with Magpro. I guess those are the other two I should try before I commit to my hunting loads with the 140 gr Nosler Accubond.
