Rojelio35 Whelen & Re 15
Hi, I've been using IMR4064 in my 35Whelen and it has been working good, but I hear a lot of people raving about Re 15 so I went out and bought a can to give it a try. I'm shooting sierra 225's and Nosler BT 225's. Would anyone like to share a good accurate load with me. I have a lot of older reloading manuals that don't include a lot of Alliant powder loads. I like to do all my experimenting in the off season. I also don't like to push the envelope on my loads. I like them fairly tame. Thanks for the help, Roger.

RojelioThanks Steve & Tom, I'll give it a try. I don't know when I'll make it back to the range . I came down with a case of the shingles. Go figure. Talk about painful. Ouch. Have a good day, Roger.
For 225 gr 60 gr is max....

Mauser98I've worked up loads to 60-61 gr of RL15 for 225 gr Nosler Parts. Velocity and accuracy was excellent but case life was short. I settled on 58-59 gr for both the Noslers and the Sierras.
