Does rx stand for reloader powder in the

manuels . Sounds dumb I know but don't want

to make a mistake.

Im some manuals it does, but you should be able to look in the front of the manual for the designation. Is this the Lyman 48th manual? If so it does stand for Reloader.

Edited: Speer uses RE and Barnes uses RL for Reloader. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure reguardless of the manual if you see RE, RL, or RX it's Reloader.

I believe this is correct.....dumber than home made rocks but that's the way it is.

If a manual is older, it may use the abbreviation "Rx" for the Reloader line. The orignal Hercules-made Reloader line had a logo that used the Rx symbol for "prescription" in the spelling of the "RxelOdeRx" line. "Re" and Rl" are more recent abbreviations. However, be aware that data with the "Rx" abbreviation was likely derived with the old American-made powders and not the current Swedish-made powders from Bofors. As they say, "your mileage may vary".
