Reloader-12 is a Moderately Fast Burning powder
It is good from .22-.45 in Medium sized cases.

I saw this post. thought it was interesting because I use AR-comp in the 308 & grendel



The above posters are correct in that we didn't replace Reloder(R) 12 with anything when we discontinued it.
Reloder 12 was essentially Hercules' answer to canister/OEM 4895. We produced it for years at our commercial plant in Kenvil, NJ until we closed that facility in 1996. We produced two lots out of Radford, VA, but the production cost there made the small volume unaffordable. Bofors never produced Reloder 12 for us.
Developed separately, AR-Comp(TM) is essentially the same burn speed as Reloder 12 and the 4895s.
Shoot well,
Paul

RL 12 was the most accurate powder in my AR10 (a true AR10 by Armalite) shooting Hornady 155 gr A-Max, at 100 yds it shot under 1 inch. I still have most of a 4# jug left.

I have an AR-Comp load with 155 that will do the same . Interesting Varget also worked as well.

Reloder 12 has a burn rate that approximates H 4895. It is in essence a double based version of H 4895.
