Seems difficult to get hold of in UK at present, even heard it was too be discontinued? Surely not?

reloader 12 was discontinued stateside.

All the Reloader powders are made in Sweden under contract for Alliant. I am sure it has a Swedish equivalent that would be more readily available in Europe.

Have you tried The Sportsman Gun Centres in Paignton / Dorchester? They stock huge amounts of powder for mail order and are by far the cheapest in the UK at the moment.

trans.pond:

as Seafire says there is a Swedish equivalent to Re-15, and that is Norma 203-B.

usual warnings apply here.

Gentlemen

YES, the powders for Norma, Alliant, Raufors, RWS and some of the Vithavouri are made by Bofors.

Bofors has their own line of powders that are very close to the Norma/Alliant products. I know a fellow who bought powder from Bofors, the minimum limit were one ton, interested anyone??

Actually I have found N-203 to be a tad slower than RL-15. What I have found is the following powders have approximately similar burning rates of RL-15, faster to slower...

150 W-748
151 IMR-4064
152 Brigadier 4065
153 AA-2520
154 N-202

155 RL-15

156 AR-2208
157 N-140
158 R-903
159 S-341
160 TU-5000
161 Varget

There seem to be two sets of data in the published loads of RL15. I have a bottle from a batch that matches the slow data. FWIW, Dutch.
