I found it to be identical to RL-22 in all respects from the 243 to the 378 WBY. | |||

I haven't used MRP but I have used RL22 in my .270 Winchester and have found it to give the best results of any powder I've tried in this rifle. I've also found that it gives excellent results in the .30/06 with highly compressed loads (up to 61 gr.) behind 200 grain Speer bullets. | |||

Norma MRP and Reloader 22 are both made here in Sweden by the same company at the same place on the same production line. This isn't just my opinion: ************************** From 'Any Shot You Want, The A-Square Handloading Manual,' page 274-275: "For our European and African friends, who may have difficulty locating the various powders, there is an authorized substitution. Reloader-22 is exactly the same thing as Norma-MRP. Reloader-19 is exactly the same thing as Norma-204. Reloader-15 is exactly the same thing as Norma-203. These powders come from exactly the same plant and are made at exactly the same time. The powder from that plant is simply shipped to a different place and is put into a different consumer pack. **************************** I've found the above to be correct, subject to no more variation than I often see between lots of the same brand of powder. As always, cut back 10-15% and work back up when starting with a new lot of powder. jpb | |||

Hmmmm. Is MRP-2 the same as RL25? (edit) BTW - Graf's currently has Norma powders (except for the MRP's  ) on special right now for $10.99/lb. If you buy 32# of it, they waive HazMat, which is a great deal, or, even in you only need 10# or so, even with the $20 HazMat fee, that's a better deal than buying the Alliant "Reloader" version of it.

Quote: Well I'll be darned. I was a bit skeptical @ first, but I went down to the bench and checked the appearance of a few remaining grains left in an empty can of MRP to some RL22. Appearance was identical. As appearance has nothing to do with characteristics, I checked some load data I had recorded. Similar charge weights where whithin 31fps average, although the RL22 did have a lower SD. | |||

Glad to pass the info along guys. This info has helped me a lot! R-WEST: I too immediately thought of RL-25... but I don't want to post info that I'm not certain of. I have not been able to verify the origins of this powder. (JOHAN A:, do you have a personal connection at Bofors that you could ask?) jpb | |||
