Reloader22 is more or less the same stuff, though you should "work up" again, but you should do that with a fresh batch of MRP anyway...

I've had very small (if any) differences lott to lott on MRP. RL22 that is another issue. The first lott of RL22 I had were VERY HOT. I did find a lott that matched my MRP loads almost gr for gr.

As to who has it sorry I can't help. If you can't find it RL22 will work but as stated you will need to work up your loads.

Here is the list of distributors from the Norma site.

www.huntingtons.com

www.bhshooters.com

I believe at one time Blackhills Shooters Supply (bhshooters) was the only Importer. I would check with them.

I've found both powders (which are from the same manufacturer and are of the same specifications) to vary more widely from lot to lot than most other powders.

The bottom line is this: Use either RL-22 or MRP, but buy in lots large enough to last you for a significant time and carefully do a re-workup of your load if you are forced to change lots (or brands).
