RL22 vs RL23

[JMRhino]

Good morning.

I have developed a few successful loads using RL22 but with my stock dwindling I am looking to expand my available power options. I have already experimented with other options such as IMR 4831 and Accurate MagPro but I haven't tried RL23. I believe it to be in the appropriate burn rate range for my cartridge.

I don't know that it's relevant for purposes of a "compare and contrast' type discussion but it would be for my 257 WSM shooting both monos in the 80-100gn range and cup' n core 110-115gn projectiles.

Does anyone have opinions from using both RL22 and RL23? I appreciate any consideration.

Rl23 won't be much easier to find than 22. I would look at IMR7828.

I think the new Ramshot Grand might be a good choice as well. Also the new Staball HD some people here have been using it I don't have it myself.

have a decent supply of 7828ssc and coming across 2 more pounds of it at a small town in the middle of nowhere i don't think it's any easier (if any at all) to find over 23 is. last time i saw 22 for sale was 2 years ago in okc at nearly $90#. finding 23 close to you is something i can't answer, but has been available at many online sites. just checked 22 inventory and i have only 2# left. not sure what i'm using it for or in, but i do believe i bought some for the 300wm. i guess it'll go further in 22/6/25creeds, 22-250 and 243win than any magnum cases.

RL-23 is out there just expensive , north of $75/lb.
Viht. N560 would be another choice $20/lb less.

Man look , I have actually seen reloder 23 and reloder 26 since I have seen 7828.
It has been about SIX years since I've seen 7828.

I dont know why.

In my experience with rl22 and rl23 i have learned in fact reloder 23 is a bit faster burning than rl22 despite what Alliant says. However rl23 has found outstanding accuracy in the barrels that is appropriate.

i feel the same with 25 and 26 as 1 is just more temp stable.

I picked up 4 lbs of 7828 SSC from Cabela’s in Jan or Feb last year to bring me back up to the 8 lb mark. Occasionally they have powders pop up that aren’t in stock elsewhere.

I like it for some loads for my 7mm Rem Mag. It also showed promise in my 270 WSM. That being said, I and these two rifles love RL23. It’s the only powder I’d even consider paying current Alliant prices for. Luckily I have enough to RL23 to keep them running for years.

Thank you. That's helpful knowing you had good results with RL23 in similar type cartridges.
